He's here
 

Nicholas Axel was born Friday, June 6, weighing in at 7 lb 14 oz and 19 in long. We got home today, and I'm exhausted but happy. The milk fairy came last night, so we are happily breastfeeding away. We both are doing fine, sore from the c-section obviously, but on the mend and on the whole feeling better than when I was pregnant.

I'll try to get a picture or two up in the next couple days. Thank you all for all your support and well-wishes in the last weeks and months.

Anne

Yay! Congratulations! Glad you're feeling better.

Photos!
 

Here are a couple of pictures of Nicholas and me, and Nicholas and my DD Sophia. Nick has light brown hair, and has acquired the nicknames (ha! NICKnames) Monkey Toes since he has such long long toes, and Burrito Man, due to his father's excessive fondness for swaddling him--I expect neither will last very long. Sophia dotes on him, and calls him "My Nick." He seems to be an easy baby so far, mostly just eating and sleeping and looking around, very little fussing, which is a nice change from Sophia's infancy. I'm hoping it lasts.

Anne

Nicholas is simply adorable, as is Sophia! How sweet! Anne, you deserve an easy baby after such a tough pregnancy and yes, let's hope it lasts for 18 years or so. :)

Congratulations!!! Both your children are beautiful!!! LOL...We called my DD Monkey Toes when she was born for the same reason. I still call her that when I see her with bare feet, she will be 15 (to) soon!!!

Both are adorable! Thanks for sharing.

Hi Anne,
You and both your children look fabulous. Thanks for posting the pics,
rabbit

AWESOME ANNE!...so much to be thankful for...just awesome!

How adorable! Thanks for posting them. My second child was also so much easier than my first. I hope it continues that way for you!

Congratulations Anne, both your babies are beautiful.

Congratulations Anne!!!! I havent been around much lately but had to check in to see how your baby was doing :D

Congrats, Anne! :) You must be so excited. I definitely wish you a well-behaved child through the entire time you'll have him ;) I love the name you chose... and he is absolutely adorable... as is your daughter, Sophia, and you look great as well :D

Take it easy :hug:

Congrats! :woohoo: Glad the milk is flowing - what a wonderful gift to give to Nicholas!
Blessings!

Congratulations on your new baby. I hope your recovery is uneventful and rapid. C-sections can be difficult to bounce back from. Congratulations again! =)
