I'd have to agree with you - he is absolutely adorable!  What a perfect little boy!  Look at those chubby cheeks!  I just want to hug him!  But, I guess I'll have to leave that up to you!

Enjoy him!

Congrats on getting through the first leg of the journey and I'm so happy to hear that the little guy is doing well...and Mom's symptoms have eased up some.  Hopefully she is able to rest, because as we all know she will need her strength.

Love to all

He is beautiful!  Enjoy every moment with him now and try not to think about your surgery.  What could be a better distraction?

So happy for you and your family!

What fun!  A beautful new baby to love and adore!  Give him lots of hugs for all of us moms out here in forumland who would love to squeeze those scrumptious plump cheeks.  :D :D  Congrats to the whole family and enjoy your time with Parker.  What a great diversion for you while  you prepare for the next leg of your AN journey!
