i love my son

yes, that's right.  we have a son!   i am a mom.  i'm crying writing this.  it is every single thing i thought it would be and more.  its exhilarating, emotional, filled with feelings of love and protection i didn't know i had, mr. wannabe and i are closer than we've ever been and i can say with absolute certainty that he was worth every needle, every struggle, every negative result, test, procedure, long agonizing wait and every failure that came before him.   he is amazing.

i can't believe it.

he is perfect in every way! 

8lbs, 6oz, born on April 27 at 8:19 am.   his name is Adam.

i'll post more details and a few pictures soon, but for now, i'm going to go back to snuggling my baby boy!

    I can't wait to see handsome little Adam (and he wasn't as Gigantor as was feared! How about that!). I bet he's just perfect...

    I'm so glad you're in bliss. So amazing.
