This is the reason why

I didn't know contentment until I picked up my crying child, only to find that being held was the only thing he needed. As he put his head to my chest and sighed out his last whimper, I melted into the complete fulfillment of life as it should be.

There are a million posts in my head and unfortunately 80 million gallons of milk in my boobs. I'll be back soon I hope. After the girls get under control.

I'm so glad to hear you're doing so well, Canape. You've clearly taken to mothering that darling little boy, like a duck to water!

Love and hugs to you, Guy, Lovely, and a kiss to wee Birdie...

I have to say it again, I'm so happy for you. Christopher is a beautiful baby! Enjoy him okay. Just yesterday I was where you are with Dylan, and exactly a month from today he turns three. They grow up way too fast.
