Our wee baby is here!!
I was out all day last Tuesday (the 19th) with a girlfriend having a great time. When I got home...my minister called and said that bith mom was in labor..so I put down my shopping bags and packed my hospital bags.
he was born Tuesay night at 1:01am (so Wednesday, technically I guess :) LOL!!)
his full name is Lloyd Oliver Zachariah...but we will call him Oliver everyday.
We just got home today and all is well...he is sooooooo cute and we are so blessed to have himI
HOORAY!!

How wonderful!! What a blessing. May you all be always blessed with health, happiness and love. Hold him tight and give him a kiss from all of us. It really is true that they grow up so very fast.

Oh! I was so surprised! I guess I thought it would be months before he arrived since you first told us...DUH!!!!! You were adopting not waiting the usual 9 months! LOL! I better get with the program so IMAGINE MY SURPRISE when I saw your posting!
LORDY IT"S WONDERFUL! And what a wonderful name and what a lucky little boy to have 2 parents who wanted him so much and now get to love him even more! AWESOME!!!! I can't wait for pictures and to literally watch him grow up here if I live that long! ALthough, you'll be busier now so you probably won't post as much but you better keep us informed! Remember it takes a farmgirl sisterhood to raise a child! Or was it a village? Same thing anyway! I am SO VERY HAPPY for all involved! It's JUST WONDERFUL! Happy Days!!!!!
HUGS to all and a special little gentle hug to that gift fresh from heaven.
Love y'all....

oh girls I am sitting here bawling!! you are all so wonderful!! and so is my wee Oliver!
He was 6lbs 12oz and so very sweet. I do sleep when he sleeps as that seems to work well.
I can't stop kissing him and hugging him. Hubby is so over the moon with Oliver, which makes me more in love with him. It is so awesome to see such a tender side of my big burly husband.
I surely will post pictures, when I figure out how.....I vaguely remember a posting somewhere that mentioned how to do it.
I'd ssend big hugs out to you all , but I am saving them for Oliver LOL!! :)

Melanie,
Congratulations to you and you dh! I too did not realize you were adopting and so was surprised when you said he was here. Glad all is well. Get lots of rest whenever you can.
farmgirl hugs!
