Congratulations! Heather (at Just Laugh) is off-line right now, but I’ll let her know you had the baby — I know she’ll be thrilled!
[Reply]
CONGRATULATIONS!! I was out of town this weekend, thinking about you, but not really able to check on your “progress.” He is absolutely perfect. What a blessing.
(And I won’t hold it against you that you didn’t want him to be born on the 31st -my birthday- it CAN be a bit of a strange day.)
Happy Day!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I had been checking frequently, anticipating his arrival- My little guy came early, so our boys are only one day apart!!! I’m so happy to see that your beautiful healthy little man is finally here in your arms. Can’t wait to hear/see more! (P.S. What a great picture! He’s adorable!) God bless you and your precious little family!
