Amanda,
I was on flickr when you were uploading pictures . . . so I left all kinds of comments on your stream . . . Asa is GORGEOUS and I love his name. Pirate Asa. Very cute :) Your pictures are so lovely. I’m so happy for you and your family and I wish you nothing but the best getting back “into the groove”. Congratulations to the now beautiful family of 4 :)

xoxoxoxo~

Congrats- and way to go pushing out a baby with injured ribs- you’re a trooper! He looks cute and so peaceful. I’m totally jealous because I’m still waiting on my baby girl! So excited that he has been born to parents who love him and will teach him about Jesus!

Congratulations Amanda!! We were all so excited for you this morning when Cathy told us you’d had Asa last night!! We can’t wait to meet him and see you soon…
p.s. When Sean’s mom dropped him off to WL this morning, she said “just thought I should warn you that Sean was constipated yesterday so we gave him a laxative… it appears to have kicked in this morning. We just took him to the bathroom but he wouldn’t go. But he has his pullup on and their are extras in his bag….” What?!?! See, aren’t you bummed you missed us this morning?? :) Congratulations!
