It was lovely, really. Even with the medical intervention, the pain, the necessary unpleasantness, it was lovely. My best delivery yet, textbook in the best of ways. Although I don't remember saying it myself, Mark says that immediately following his arrival I exclaimed to the doctor and nurses, with happy, happy tears wet on my face, "That was awesome." I've never, ever used that particular adjective to describe any of my deliveries, but only three pushes and what the doctor promised to be an easy recovery is pretty awesome. And so it all begins....

Great picture. I want to see more. So glad the labor went well and quickly. You deserved it. I hear Mark is already bragging about his "hammer". Spoken like a proud father. Love you guys.
Welcome baby boy...Declan...as the new Purves addition; was well as the word "awesome" in reference to the easy birth experience, child & "awesome"eternal family!
So beautiful. Both of you. Congratulations!!!
Ann, I'm so happy for you. I've been thinking about you every day; but not so good at checking in on the blogs lately. Congratulations! He's beautiful.

i'm elated for all of you, and especially that you had such a good experience. oddly enough almost exactly like mine! labor, size, everything. must be something about those little brothers!! mine can't get any space either.
sounds like you are doing wonderfully, all of you!!!
congratulations!!!
Ann, you look so lovely! And I'm missing my newborn. Five months is fun, but newborns are just sweet. I hope all is going well, and everyone is adjusting.
And if you ever want to throw your girls out of the house, send them over to mine!
Congratulations Ann! he is a handsome boy!
