Announcing James Alexander to the world

Today has been beyond exhausting, don't ask me why I'm still up. But today has also been one of the most wonderful days of my life. I saw E bond with his tiny son, I cried while holding my son for the first time, and I had a pretty easy labor, with less than an hour of pushing!

I have had an amazing day with family, my husband, and my new son. I will type up a more extensive post soon, of course, but for now, I'll leave you with a few photos:

Daddy and baby meet at last.
Mama and James, true true love.
Isn't he wonderful? He has a full head of dark hair!
He is so sweet and little. 7 lbs. 13 oz.
And a total sleepy head. I've had a little bit of a hard time getting him to nurse, he seems to latch on and then promptly falls asleep!

  12. Wow! Jessica, I am so happy for both you and E. I love that first pic of James and E. He looks so lovable!!! I can't believe he is finally here. You can see the love you already have for your little guy in all of your pics together. What a beautiful little guy. He is just perfect. Get lots of rest and take any help you can get. Don't worry about nursing, you will have it down in no time. Just remember to stay hydrated and drink lots of water. It took me 4 days. I am so glad everything went so well.God bless you and your little family!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
