Whoo hoo!
Many congratulations to all! Can’t wait to see pictures–but not at the expense of your time with family. Enjoy every moment.

CONGRATS!!!!!
Congratulations to you and your family!
CONGRATULATIONS to all of you!
Whew! I got the chills. Welcome, Baby J!! (We call our little man Dr. J, but hope that he won’t have such a reputation with the ladies as Julius Irving.)
Congratulations!
Lots of love to all of you from all of us.
Oh I didn’t see the picture before! What beautiful eyes!
Thank you all. Will be uncharacteristically terse. We got home this afternoon and I had to add this visual to the update. More later, including a guest post from the KIABIL, aka Know-It-All-Brother-In-Law.
Thanks again so much, konagod, llyn52, Trista, Ayelet, Whitney, Momai, Artsweet, Miarno, Katie, Dana, and LD!
He’s a beaut! Y’all done good. Welcome peanut.
What a delightful way to end the week! Quite a hefty dude too! I was only 7 lbs 6 oz. and I ended up being a world of trouble!
congratulations on safe arrival! I hope he sleeps well for all of you. Well done birth mother – they dont call it labour for nothing!
What a little darling! Congradulations!
Job well done!
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH! (I got a login just so I could say it directly instead of just grinning at the screen) 😀
Congratulations. He’s gorgeous.
Absolutely stunningly gorgeous. Well done, both of you. Thank you for sharing this with us.
he’s beautiful! congratulations from Jon, Rosie, Zoe, and Fergus!
Thank you thank you the KIABIL, waiting, Lizzy, Marypierce13, Blue Ox, and jon (& Rosie & Zoe & Fergus). My dilemma while kid #1 is spirited away by my sister: Clean yesterday’s dishes & generally tidy up? Nab some sleep, and find therein some composure? Or be a wacky fool and upload some more baby pictures, leaving the house a mess and my nerves even more shorn of that protective sheathing that comes in so handy in days like these? Hmmmmm….
Welcome, little one. You’re just beautiful.
Oh! Congratulations! He’s adorable! Welcome to the world, baby brother!
BTW, that’s exactly the same size Noah was when he was born. Big babies are wonderful.
I hope you are getting a few smidgens of sleep and am so so so happy you posted a picture of this beautiful boy.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Such exciting news! WOW! 9lbs7oz! He is so beautiful. Great job.
Welcome, welcome, welcome! We are so happy for you all. Enjoy my friends. Looking forward to more pictures and more stories of life. M M in VT
Mazel Tov. He is beautiful!!
Absolutely beautiful! Congratulations to you all.
Got cut short on the phoner with Junie Bozzy as the little guy apparently needed some boob. Anyway, I love you all so much and we Garton people congratulate you immensely on your new human. And generally, greetings from Minnesota.
Yay! and Super Yay! Give that kid a big smooch for me please.

Oh, what a beautiful picture. What a beautiful boy. Congratulations!
