Well, after boring you all with my complaints about waiting for the baby to do its thing - he has arrived.
Simon Christopher was born on June 29, weighing in at 8 lbs., 13 oz. We're reeling a bit from lack of sleep, but things seem to be improving slightly on that front, and he's beautiful and wondrous, in the way only infants can be.
Today one member asked another for URL to a good word site. How about everybody contibuting to a list of such sites? I wish one had been available when I first joined.
All the best to the entire family! My own "baby" is 19, and I wish now I had savored those baby days more. So try not to let lack of sleep, and other responsibilities get in the way - they're too soon grown.
First I see it from Dr. Bill, then it's gone, then I see it from Dr. Bill again and now it claims ledasdottir as its author and it's stuck in the middle of Hyla's birth announcement thread???????
I've already sent a private message to the growing frog family (perhaps he should have been named Tad?), but since you were all so kind to my family when Abigail was born, I thought I'd add my congratulations to the thread as well. I know this is Hyla's second, but I can't imagine the experience is any less frightening/exciting/joyful/amazing the second time around. And I already agree with you, nancyk, about them growing up so fast -- I already miss my little one-month-old, now that she's grown up so. Already four months old, and the next thing I know it she'll be off to college with a boyfriend and her tongue pierced. Sunriiise, sunset...
Congratulations to all the Hylas!...all hopping for joy, I'm sure! There's nothing like a baby's smile and laughter to warm the heart...cherish it well, as I'm sure you will!
I have, for the last few days, been having some eerie dreams with this adorable baby in them, maybe it's yours! Does Simon have blue eyes perhaps? A friend of mine just had a child this week too. A romantic autumn last year, huh;-)
Let me add my congratulations and best wishes. If I remember aright, your first was also a boy, n'est-ce pas?
As the father of 3 sons, no girls, I can tell you that if they are both boys, and any other future arrivals are boys, you have the best situation, child-wise. Seeing what goes on these days, if I had a daughter nowadays, I'd lock her in the cellar on her 10th birthday and let her out on her 21st.
I like the name, Simon, too. Curious that Biblical names are now in vogue again. My sons are 38, 34 and 30 and back when we named one Stephen Bartholomew and one Andrew David, they were thought to have very old-fashioned monikers (like we would think of Hezekiah or Nahum). If you tend to be a little vague, or not making a lot of sense in postings, we'll put it down to insufficient sleep.
