If someone were to ask me to describe pregnancy I think I would liken it to be beaten with a blunt object for nine months. I don’t have a fun time being pregnant. But what is remarkable to me is that when it is over, it is over, as in g-o-n-e. All the hard times swept away by the wonder of a newly born human being.
We made it to the other side. And on the other side of nine very long months came our baby boy,
Ellis Kai Dawson
Stats:
Born May 7th at 9:55am, 8 lbs, 20 inches
Blue eyes, strawberry blond hair
Now 90th % for weight and height
TOTALLY 100 % AWESOME!
A few months ago I started reading Georgette Heyer novels. (They kept me sane during the months and months of insomnia which accompanied this pregnancy.) Heyer owns the Regency novel – she wrote 20 of them (I’ve read 10 of them to date) and a “Nonesuch” is a man who is a paragon among men. That’s what I think of my baby boy. This kid is a dream.
Eats like a champ, zero colic, great snuggler, good-natured, strong (he was trying to hold his head up on the first day of life!), he is constantly cooing — which melts my mommy heart — and we are simply in love with him.
His dad and sisters are smitten.
Smitten, I tell you!
He is a keeper!

Such gorgeousness in life makes all the hard stuff so worth it. Congrats on the newest addition. He’s so beautiful.
P.s. I love Georgette Heyer’s novels. They’re so fun to read.

Eliza, Congratulations!!! What a sweet boy. Don’t you just love baby boys?! We’re so happy for you guys. What a lucky little lad to be born into such a wonderful family.
We had Cam & Nikki and their darling boys with us here last week, and we are having major withdrawls this week. We loved having them here. It’s such a drag sometimes that there is a WHOLE COUNTRY between there and here. We wish we saw you all more often.
Much love to you and your sweet family. Love Sarah Jane (and the Bowen clan)

Congratulations! What a cute baby BOY!! He looks great and you did a great job! Hopefully we will see you and your beautiful kids next time we are in NY, or maybe we will see you in Utah? We leave UT on August 4th, when do you get there?

Liza, you made it! I am so happy that you now get to have a bit of boy in the Dawson Household. I dare say it will add an element of physicality to your abode. I can’t wait to meet this darling wee one. Congrats!
