Maybe. (I am still a little sore, after all.)
Maybe it's so awesome because I waited so long? You know, the whole "you have to wait for all worthwhile things" or however that saying goes.
Or maybe it's because I thought it would never happen? Like when you're a teenager and you think you'll never turn 16 and be able to drive - never - but then it happens and you can and you love it so much you'll run any errand your mom asks you to run, just so you can sit behind the wheel of her mom car.
Or I guess maybe it's just because I gave birth to the most beautiful and perfect child ever. (For now. Because let's face it, he'll grow up sometime and become a teenager who always wants to drive my car.)
But you can decide for yourself: here is the perfect child at his first big photo shoot. His daddy picked out the wardrobe, set up the set, and took the pictures while his mom and grandma just stood there and laughed as he stretched his super long legs, constantly rolled to his left side, and kept shoving his fists in his mouth. As if they'll fit.
He got a little overstimulated, but hey, it was for a good cause. If you're on facebook, find Andy - he posted all 60-some odd photos on his site and you can see them all there. I refuse to participate in facebook. Sorry.

Alicia!! amazing unexpected early birth story. Zach has a cleft, like his dad, and it seemed like everyone noticed that first off.
I am thrilled for you (and I'll be honest, maybe more thrilled than I've been for any other friend so far...)
He is ABsolutely beautiful. I want to meet him, and hold him! I love the name Max so much. Enjoy every cuddle! Good luck with using Babywise. I like it, just don't stress too much like I did. Love you!
oh, and ps. sorry I'm a lame-oh late with the gift. I'll get it to you, and now I won't have to mail it. :o)

LOVE the pictures. It's such an unbelievable thrill. Enjoy :)
Congrats. Congrats. Congrats.
We're so excited for you.
Being a mom is totally what I was meant to do. My kids have brought more joy into my life than I could have ever imagined. Savor every moment!
You are so funny!! Anti-facebook, huh? I'm on it, but I never, ever check it. I'm like, blah. Anyways, Max is so CUTE!!! I'm so, so happy for you, Lish. So have you quit your job, or are you taking maternity leave? And Janene is smart to recommend Babywise. It SAVED MY LIFE with my two youngest.
He's very cute! We can't wait to see him in person. Glad you are healing and enjoying being a Mom. Savor the tiny moments. They are what matter most and are gone in what feels like an instant.
YAY! He is super cute and I can't wait to meet him!!! Good luck with all the packing, cleaning, and moving and we will see you soon! :)Love you!
He is totally adorable. It's just the awesomest thing!!! :)
He is so delicious, I am very happy for you, and yes you deserve to feel extra blessed to have his little spirit and body in your home. I am so glad to know that everyone is happy and healthy and little sleep deprived. Congrats and we hope that the move goes smoothly for you. At least at this age he will be an excellent traveler!
P.S. I am glad to know that I am not the only one who refuses Facebook.
handsome! and it is fun. Enjoy.
I love these pictures! Max is such a cute baby. I love that his name is from Where The Wild Things Are. It's cool that the live action version of that movie came out the same year of his birth.
