We Did It!!!!!!!

We arrived home this evening with our new baby boy Inigo. He was born on Wednesday evening, I saw him being born, 5lbs 11oz. Truly flawless exquisitely beautiful baby.
The courage of his birthmother in letting him go floors me.
We are in shock, in humility, in heaven!

Thanks everybody so much for the support. We could not have got there without you. The SECOND I have worked out how to upload photos, I'll post them!!!!

Yea! Congratulations!! I've been following your posts and
have had my fingers & toes crossed for you guys! Enjoy
your little one!

Our 2nd daughter was also very tiny even though she was full term
and we ran out to buy preemie clothes and very tiny diapers
(kind of hard to find in the boonies where she was born!) But she
grew out of them so fast! I still have some of the diapers (unused, of
course) so she can use them on her dollies when she's a bit older.

Can't wait to see pictures!

Poulla,

Congratulations!

Maybe the picture is too big? I shrink mine down to about 3'' x 4'' and then make sure the file size is under 100k. Maybe you could try making it smaller? If you can't make a picture smaller, pm me and I'll give you my e-mail address. Send it to me and I'll make it smaller for you and send it back.

Talking Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations, He's the same size as Addy was. We did the preemie clothes thing too - it's nice to have a couple of things that they don't swim in - even if they don't fit for long. It's also fun to look at when they get bigger so you can remember how tiny they were.

I want to know about the name you chose, how do you say it? I haven't heard it before. How did you choose it?

Can't wait to see pics!!!

Martha

Thumbs up

Congratulations!!! I have been following your story and I am so happy for you. My son also had to have preemie clothes and preemie diaphers (they are so small!) but as you know they grow out of them so fast!!!

Enjoy every second.......
