As the March saying goes...
In like a Lamb....out like a Lion....
our new son
Daniel Maximus
10 lbs.....8 oz...
March 9th was my due date, and the beginning of Lent...and indeed, the month came in like a lamb
but he roared the month out
He was born on March 31st...
(hence the name Daniel...and Maximus is obvious with his size no?...but also a great saint's name)
thank you all for your prayers...I'm enjoying every minute at home
xo+blessings,
Oh dear, dear dear!

Dear Anne-Marie,
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet sweet baby boy. Oh my goodness gracious you must be on cloud nine. I love late babies. My son took his sweet time and he was so much more settled. A bigger tummy that loved being filled with pablum.
Your sweet family must be adoring their new little brother and adoring you, you're such a good mommy!
Congratulations!

ReplyDeleteWow, Congratulations to you and your husband.
ReplyDeleteWhile I was waiting for my own baby to be born I was also wondering about your baby. Could not sit so much at the computer anymore to check freguently.
And...
I just gave birth to a son too.
And would you believe he was born on March 31st? (I was due on March 31.) We named him Micaiah.
Again, Congratulations and many Blessings to you and Daniel.
I’m impressed, I have to say. Really rarely do I see a blog that’s both educational and entertaining, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. Your opinion is outstanding; the matter is something that not enough people are talking intelligently about. I’m really happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.
ReplyDeleteLove it all! The name suits him. Two great names actually. Isn't it fun to think of how he will be as a little boy? How exciting for you. Are you recovering well? Congratulations to all!
ReplyDeleteAnn Marie,
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for you and your family! What a beautiful boy! He's so sweet! Congratulations! Send lots of big and tiny hugs!!

Look at you two at the very begininng of your "meeting"...wow! Isn't it a miracle?
