crazydiamondsue | So. Very. Sleepy.

Thank you all so much for your lovely, funny, witty and squeeful thoughts and wishes for Jonah's safe and healthy birth. We are still in shock that he is actually here (and real) but we're already totally in love. Caza said the other day, "I've never seen you this passionate about anything." "Except for Buffy," I said while skillfully piecing together a dual-breast pump in under 10 minutes. "Except for Buffy," he agreed quickly.

Thank you, too, to

lycomingst for the e-card and to

spikendru,

luvxander,

mpoetess,

globalfruitbat and

mireille719 for the cuuute ducky virtual gifts and to

ewokgirl for all of the incoming breastfeeding info and links. Big huge thank you hugs to Andrea, Anne, Laura and Vinnie for everything. I am a sobbing mess of hormonal joy and you guys are a big part of the reason.

I'm gonna take a brief LJ hiatus (and hopefully a nap) but I leave you with:

Jonah Edmund G. born 8/15/08. 8 lbs, 4 oz. 20 inches.

This is for everyone who questioned whether my hair ever looks bad (bless your hearts.) This is me immediately post-op, no make-up, fresh washed, undone hair and no sleep in 26 hours. On the plus side? I still don't look almost 40. *g*

In his monkey going home outfit from Aunt

uberaeryn.

With his Aunt

Napping with his Daddy. (The pajamas Jonah is wearing have Monkey Cowboys lassoing orange giraffes on them. Eeee!)

Getting Max kisses.

I just squeaked. I LOVE THEM ALL. AND YOU, most definitely YOU

I forgot to comment on the Max-kiss picture. That is SO FLIPPING SWEET. Max is all, "I smell Daddy on you. I love Daddy, ergo, I love you." *sluuuuurp*

Napping with babies = best sleep ever.

SO. SWEET!!! Every single one of you! Including Max! The picture of you and Jonah, where he's laying his head on your chest.... awwwww. What do you mean, you have bad hair in that picture? My hair looks worse than that every day!

Tell

uberaeryn I said hi there! She looks great too!

This morning I heard the Batman theme playing on the PA system as I dropped Nathan off at Cub Scout camp. "Atomic engines to power, turbines to speed..."

I am soooooooo happy for you both. Glad you're both home and settling in.

Many many congratulations.

You're a lovely family *hugs*

He's super cute!! Congrats again!

He is so tiny and sweet and beautiful. Congratulations!!

Again, congratulations!
And yes - when *he* naps? You nap. I found that that's the best way. :)

Oh, so sweet!

I love the monkey going-home outfit so, so much! And awww, I love how he and Eddie are mimicking gestures. Two boys napping = ♥

GOD. That is a picture of a PUPPY kissing a BABY. !!!!!

So much <3 to you. You're all beautiful.

Jonah Edmund G. born 8/15/08. 8 lbs, 4 oz. 20 inches.

Jonah Edmund G. sounds like it'll be his hip-hop, rap star, Hummer 2 drivin', stage name. Yup. I got plans for this kid.

Oh, Sue! I am overcome with happiness for you and Eddie! The pictures are wonderful - keep them coming. R and I are already at work scheming about how we can swing a visit sometime in the next year, even with me no longer being in Memphis.

*flails at the cuteness*

Sue I am sosososo happy for you!

There is nothing more appropriate here than:

AWWWWWWWWWW!

You're still beautiful without makeup and without your hair done - how is this fair?

He's just perfect - all of these photos are too much cute for one day!

Aw, cute. Congrats to you both!

A BABY CAME OUT OF YOU! Eeeeee! These are gorgeous photos, and the fact that you look so good in that first photo makes me hate you forever.

He is just too adorable. I'm happy you're all home and healthy. See ya around.

PS. I just realized I don't have an icon that's appropriate for babies, so I leave you with Wonder Woman.

Congratulations, baby Jonah! You already have a huge LJ family that adores you!

MAX KISSES! <3

Oh, honey, I am so happy for you and Caza and your beautiful family. I heart you tons. *hugs hugs hugs*

You guys make me SO HAPPY.

ps; i think your hair still looked cute!

Oh, honey, he's gorgeous and pink and perfect.

So cute!!!!

so freaking precious.

OMG!

And your hair looks awesome!

\omg/

He is so perfect and both you and Caza look so in love with him. And you, my darling girl, look gorgeous and stunning and HAPPY. *loves you all*

p.s. MONKEY PJS!!!!

I am ecstatic for you and Caza! Congratulations to you two! I'm so psyched about Jonah joining your family - you're going to be wonderful parents! Jonah is so adorable! I keep looking at the pictures and sighing. Both you and Caza look so happy, as does Max! And I really do think your hair looks great, I'm impressed, mine wouldn't look that good under the circumstances.

He's so teensy. And beautiful. *smooshes him, but not too hard*

And I stand by my statement- your hair looks fantastic and so do you!

I already commented in the pregnancy lj but congrats! He is so tiny and perfect and adorable and I'm so happy for you! I also have news I'm not ready to announce in my lj, but I'm pregnant! Due 4/24!

Congratulations!!!! That's so wonderful. And you're due the day before my birthday -- sweet! :) I'm wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy. I'm so very happy for you.
