A little boy!!!! His name is Jacob!!
How wonderful. Do tell more about him. How is he progressing. No wonder you haven't been here. You've had your hands full - literally. Post photos. It would be wonderful to see him.
Love to you - GS

(((((((((H & H :o)))))))) Congratulations!! :D What spectacular news! And you chose a grand name for the little guy, as well... I am so happy for you.
Thanks, GS, for making this thread... I never would have known, otherwise.
Love,
Carolyn

Hi
I really don't deserve this but thank you for the congratulations. Jacob is such a great wee guy and being a Mummy is amazing. It's incredible that he's so pleased to see me, even if I've just left the room for a couple of minutes. He's a very hungry greedy boy.... the amount he eats astounds me, and several times when we go visiting we're offered food because he seems starving, even though I take twice the amount of food everywhere I go. He weighed 8lb 5oz when he was born and now weighs over 19lb!! A big boy. :D He loves tickles, bouncing and books and seems to be quite a placid little man, however he did suffer with really bad colic/wind for the first 4 months so that was quite difficult. He sleeps about 10/11 hours at night now and if I'm lucky he'll have a couple of naps in the day, but he's very nosey so I think he thinks he's missing something if he's sleeping :lol:
For those who remember I have an N biological dad, and we haven't spoken since Feb 2005. He sent me a Xmas card last year which said "I hope you are well, Sonia suggested I send a card". From having a nose around, Sonia appears to be a friend of his, but it was so typical of him to put something so he wasn't responsible for sending the card. Regarding Jacob, I have sent him a photo with his name, weight and dob. If he wants to see him he can but I'm not going to make any effort. I haven't decided whether to send a photo each year or not.
Anyway, here are some photos of the wee man (hopefully I've posted them ok!)... about a week old

Congratulations H&H!
Jacob is so adorable and precious. What a bundle of love right there. Love to you both. oxoxo seasons

Oh, my... H&H, he is, as you well know, priceless! The 2 of your little "Ladies Man" make me grin big... :lol: Thank you so much for sharing his photos with us.
It's especially wonderful to hear that you are so very much enjoying motherhood and building so very many precious memories to treasure. This is indeed a special time for your family. As to that colic-y/wind-y time, oh--- do I ever remember. My son's lasted several months, as well, but he's 12 years old now and I still do miss those baby days, at times :)
One of my older daughters just had her first child, a baby girl, and is not even telling her bio dad the news.
As much as she wishes it could be different, there are just some facts that can't be swept aside... and so it is... for the best.
Your son is blessed to have you.
Hugs,
Carolyn

What a lovely baby...
I particularly loved the bathtime photo.
He looks so round and content..... relaxed and sure his needs will be met.
