I hope your bottom parts (blush) are beaucoup mieux very soon!
My Geoffrey was 6 lbs. 10 oz. and 19 inches, very close to your little man. I loved, loved having a teeny baby. They stay small for longer. When Noah came along at 8 lbs. 10 oz. I felt like I gave birth to a two month old!
What a sweet, sweet time for you. Congratulations to both you and John.
PS I love his name. Oh my goodness — love a name with meaning.
