We're home! Yay!
Little Man was born screaming Jan 21, 2010 at 8:38pm after an almost 12 hour induction
7lbs 12 oz, 19 inches long
I am so incredibly happy and relieved, but still worry about him constantly.
I have been thinking since last night (well, maybe crying) that why couldn't J have made it safely like this one has? Why? Why couldn't I have kept all of them? It's funny how you think this would relieve the grief, but instead, it stirs it right back up.
There is no way this is a 'replacement' baby. They are so different in my heart. I think the shrinks are all wrong about that label.
A mother's love is endless and complex enough to hold all her children separately. Thanks for all the well-wishes! You have all helped me get here.
I'll post the birth story at some point, but for right now, I'm going to try and catch up on some sleep.

HE's gorgeous! Congratulations! I am thrilled for you.
And there's no way they are replacement babies. My heart still aches for Hannah, even when it is smiling at Denis.
Welcome, Sweet Boy. Welcome.
It's hard to imagine that any child could "replace" another. Obviously, this is something said by people who haven't lost children.
Rest up, hon. XO.
