He's here! Sorry it took so long. I'm finally starting to feel like a real person again and not so much a zombie anymore. These past two weeks have been crazy! Baby J was born via an unplanned C-Section, we spent 3 nights in the hospital, and then we spent another week in New Mexico waiting for the approval to bring him home to another state. It was a very emotional time, especially due to the extreme lack of sleep we all suffered from. He's so cute! He looks just like birthmommy. I think about her a lot. But she tries to look at this in a positive light and I'm so thankful for that. Josh eats all day long. The nurses kept telling me to feed him every 3 to 4 hours but that's just not enough for the little guy. You can imagine my surprise when he started demanding to be fed every hour and a half. It makes for long nights too. I'm hoping to stretch his schedule out a little more but so far, it's not working. Every day feels a little more normal to me, and I love him more every time I see him.

Gail-
Congratulations!!! I am so happy for you. My little nephew, Cooper, was adopted and something would definitely be missing if he wasn't here. It really doesn't matter how he became a part of the Roger's family. We love him to death, especially my daughter. They are just 2 months apart and are best friends.

Oh my goodness!! He is about the most stinkin cute little boy ever!! CONGRATS, CONGRATS CONGRATS!! I'm glad you are finally home! I was telling crystal about how my 2 babies were formula fed and they started sleeping through the night by at least 2 months!! I hope that happens for you! My theroy is that they are more full from formula. Just my thought!! I know you are a great mom and will have so much fun with him! Congrats again!!
He is so super cute! And what an awesome name, but of course I am prejudice since that is hubby's name! I'm glad you guys made it home okay.
OH MY GOSH GAIL!!!! He is so absolutely adorable! I'm not just saying that either!! You know sometimes people say it just to be nice even though everyone knows the baby is not very cute? Well rest assuried that when people tell you he is beautiful they are telling you the truth!! What a wonderful blessing! I am so happy you are finally home and all is well!
He's a doll. I'm so happy for you guys. I have a gift for you guys so I'll be stopping by probably sometime tomorrow maybe? If no one answers I'll just leave it on your door step. Can't wait to meet him. Good luck and get some sleep. :)
He is very Cute indeed! Having a baby is very stressful, tiring and overwhelming but oh so worth it! Their little smiles and coo's are priceless! Eat it up while you can they grow so quickly! Best of Luck to you both!
What a blessed baby to have you two for his parents! I send hugs, love, and prayers to all 3 of you! Have Fun!
What a beautiful boy! Congratulations, it will be such fun for you!
Although they say babies need to eat every 3-4 hours on average, it's good to remember that's an average, so most of the time it's every hour, then they'll have a five-hour stretch where they just sleep.
He's beautiful, congratulations! I hope the birthmama is doing well after her c-section, and that you're having a blast!
Gail and Diego, he is so adorable. I am soooo very happy to hear all this great news. Your little guy is so cute. I wish I lived closer.
Congratulations!
GAIL!!! I've been checking here often...I'm so glad to hear he's home with you!!!! He's just darling and cuddly looking too. Until I finally get to meet him, give him lots and lots of squeezes from me and tell him how so many people are so excited for his arrival!
Take care new mommy and daddy! The adventure has begun!
Congratulations!!! I'm thrilled for you and he is gorgeous! I bet she is so thankful to you guys for giving him a wonderful home! congrats mama!
