I did not mean to tell a lie on Thursday. I promise.
Apparently, it is possible to be in labor and not realize it until your water breaks.
33 1/2 hours later though? I totally knew it was labor. I'm a quick study.
And you know what else I am?
I'm a mommy.
Welcome to the world, Little Bird. We're going to call you Christopher.
Of course there's more to the story, but I've fallen asleep no less than 18 times before finishing this little smidgen. Thank you so much for all the love, prayers, and congratulations. You all are the best.

Couldn't be happier for you. He looks absolutely beautiful-- and well worth all that effort.
Looking foward to hearing all about him... But what is most important right now is that YOU rest when Christopher is sleeping. Let that wonderful husband of yours take care of everything else.
Promise, now.

Dear Canape,
CONGRATULATIONS!! Beautiful Christopher bird!!
I know you will be too tired and occupied and in love to read much but I want to say that, though I am new to your blog, I read nearly every entry in one whole day and I love it.
Thank you so much for writing!
If all goes well, I will join you in motherhood in early July...

Happy Birthday Christopher!
I was going to ask you who won the i-hold-the-baby/you-no-hold-the-baby battle between you and nurse, but immediately realized that was a dumb question.
Congrats, M. :D
Congrats!! Welcome to the world, Christopher!
Beautiful! Congratulations!
P.S. Did we mention that nursing makes you sleepy? After you get the hang of it, it may put you to bed every night ... lovely memories.
May his song be as sweet as your heart.
