Thanks for sharing these lovely photos.

I’m hoping you are feeling better. I had a c-section and felt totally unprepared for the recovery. For a while I thought I was the wimp – then I realized that it was just one of those facts noone told you about. Hang in there – it will get better. Your son is beautiful.

I feel full of happiness at these pictures. I am so glad that these two got to meet!

I didn’t get a chance to respond to the first one (busy day at work) although I saw it when you posted it! WW is a wonderful, distinguished name. Hope you are feeling better, and that BG will be home soon….

That must be the best feeling in the world. I hope my GM gets to see Brusier soon. Hope you’re coping well, the C-Section pain sucks.

Oh darlin…. he is so beautiful. He looks just like you and I can see you in his sweet expression. I want to come hold him!! I hope that you feel better today. Although I did not have a c-section I did have 3rd degree tears and recovery was rough and time consuming for that, so I feel for you completely. I am just so grateful that both of you made it through delivery safe and sound. Oh Calli and WW you are both so loved! Big big hugs to all of you!
