Tate is a very happy, content baby and Mark and I are having such an incredible time getting to know this little person we made with love. We're not sure what we did to deserve him, but we sure are glad we did. It's hard to imagine life without him; thank God we don't have to now.
This proud mama will be back with the birth story, the last belly pics, and photos of the nursery. In the meantime, though, I'll be off enjoying every minute with my little man. He makes me happier than I've ever been in my very happy life, and I don't want to miss a thing.
Woohoo!!!! He is gorgeous and I am so happy that your amazing life is complete! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, the third one from the bottom where it looks like he is smiling? So adorable! Also love the baby footprints one.
ReplyDeleteAnd despite how much I love you and how insanely happy I am for you, I'm going to have to dislike you just a little for how amazing you look after giving birth! ;-) You make it look easy, woman! (But I'm sure it wasn't!) Go and enjoy your little one!
I am so so so filled with happiness for you and Mark and Tate!!!
ReplyDeleteThe smile on that boy is all sorts of awesome. Y'know why he's all smiles, don't you? No, not gas. It's because he's so happy that you and Mark are his parents.
ReplyDeleteHe is precious!! And I know I keep saying it, but he is so lucky to have you and Mark as parents as I know how loved he will be. Also, you seriously look way too good in those pics for just having had a baby.
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are so wonderful!! I am so thrilled for you and Mark, and for Tate, to have such wonderful parents who will teach him all sorts of tricks and show him more love than he can stand. I don't blame you for blogging less... but be sure to update us from time to time!!!
ReplyDeleteI've said it before and I'll say it again....I cannot imagine being any happier for you! Really, I feel like it's almost my experience-I don't mean that in a steal your thunder sort of way-I just mean that I've talked to you through this whole thing and I genuinely feel like I have a sister to discuss these things with and I love it and I love you for it! Yes, yes, I'm cheesy but seriously, you're going to be one heck of a momma to TaterTot and I love all of you. Seriously large, smuggling, squishy hugs from me (and Lucy) to all 3 of you. And I agree with Valerie...um, how did you look so good after the whole birth thing??? I'm crossing my fingers I look even half as good!
ReplyDeletetooooooooooo cute!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
Tate is getting cuter by the minute! I can't wait to see him and you again! Love you! Hugs!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you and the family! He's gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteHe's just beautiful.
Yay, you updated!! I've been checking your blog like a lunatic just to read your words about how you're feeling. I couldn't be happier for you guys!! I am so thrilled and can't wait to hear about Tate and the joy that he will bring to your lives over the many, many years to come. Love to you, Mark and little Tate. Cannot wait to meet him and give you a huge hug in person! xoxox
