My son is here!!!

I just wanted to let some of my old friends on here know that I adopted a baby boy!! He was born on January 25th, I am finally a mom and it is just so exciting. This is our first night with him and though I am scared I feel that its not real...

I hope everyone is well...xoxox

Jackie

OH JACKIE!!! I was thinking of you the other day...this news makes me so so very happy! What a wonderful blessing. I am so excited for you. What did you name your precious little one? How much did he weigh? Enjoy every second of motherhood, it goes by so fast. The first few weeks can be rough, so make sure and let us know if you need some advice or suggestions. YAY!!!

Jackie, congratulations. I know this was a long time coming but I hope that as you look at your son's precious face you can now say "it was all worth it for you!" I'm so thrilled that you are finally a mommy and I know without a doubt that your little boy is going to be loved more then he could have ever imagined. Can't wait for more details! Congratulations!

Yeah, Jackie!! It's certainly been a long journey and it's so great to hear of such a wonderfully happy end. You deserve it! I know your little boy (Finn?) will be very much loved and adored. Congratulations!! Post pics when you can. The first month or two are challenging...If you need anything we're here for you.

Awe Thanks so much everyone...I wasn't sure anyone on here would remember me..well his name got changed from Finn to Haiden Patrick, he was 6 lbs 5 oz and I am overwhelmed with love..its the craziest thing in the world and I know the long wait 3 1/2 years or so, was all worth it now...I will post some pics later on, going to nap, the first night home was a tough one b/c he didn't feel like sleeping too much!! Hope all is well with you guys..miss you!

SOOO happy for you, Jackie. I agree with Amy. Swaddle, humidifier/white noise machine, full belly. That'll do the trick. Good luck!

Jackie...if you don't already have a miracle blanket call me and I'll borrow you mine. (Maybe they can have their 1st play date ). Adrian doesn't really care for it...I regret not putting him in it right away. I think I waited too long and now he doesn't want to be confined. It looks so darned cute though!!
