Those of you who twitter know that I put a call out for prayer two days ago when my new sweet nephew was born with fluid in his lungs.

So many of you took the time to email me or message me with your prayers and warm thoughts… thank you so much!  That has meant the world to the new family!!

Although he is still here: (or maybe even released to be with his momma and daddy by now!!!…)

I actually got to go and see Baby Boy for a few precious moments yesterday…

…and I was totally taken aback at how instantly I feel in love with him.

He is perfect.

And charming.  And lucky there was security guarding the nursery or I might have just pulled a cuddle-n-run.

Am I allowed to say that?  Or is that like saying bomb on a plane?

It was truly our pleasure to meet you Baby Boy… be prepared to spend the rest of your life being doted on!

Congrats Jason and Samm!  You done good. 🙂

  1. He is beautiful and so happy that he is doing well now. Quite the head of hair for a little guy. Love it. Best wishes to the family and to his new Auntie! Great photos Amanda.

  2. oh my goooodness…the hair!! He is absolutely precious! So glad we got to “meet” the wee one we’ve been praying for. 🙂
    Congrats, Auntie Manda!

  3. Isn’t he amazingly beautiful!!! It makes it seem like my new little one won’t be here for forever still. I am dying to get me a newborn fix! I only have 2 1/2 months left and that seems so short and yet so long as well.

  4. Good thing I have my own newborn to cuddle. 🙂 He is perfect and you did a wonderful job on those pictures. Praise God for answered prayers.

  5. I missed your tweet. I’m so happy that he is doing better! He *IS* gorgeous! Look at all that HAIR! Beautiful pictures, Amanda.

  6. He’s scrumptious. When I first read your post, I totally thought you sister-in-law was MckMama. But…clearly…that is not the case. 🙂 Congratulations. Nieces and nephews rock. A sweet little bundle to love without the “nuisance” of labor and delivery. 🙂

  7. Oh my goodness what a cute little boy, and so much hair! I’m glad to hear he is doing well. Great pictures! I’ve got baby fever really bad right now…
