Rachel, I am glad you had an easy labor. My heart is breaking for you. Yoy will alway keep those pictures close to your heart and cherish them forever. I regret that I did not take more of Lillyan and I feel like I did not spend enough time with her. It is wonderful that you are spending so much time with your precious Alexander. I hope your time is as enjoyable as possible and you are able to build some memories with him. If you are up to posting pictures, I would love to see your precious little angel Alexander.
Rachel you are such a strong woman. I know there is nothing that anyone can say to make things better just know you have a lot of love and support out there. Lots of thoughts and prayers for you and your family. God Bless. {{HUGS}}
Big ((((((hugs))))))). I'm glad you're able to spend these precious hours with him and will have his pictures for posterity. He sounds absolutely beautiful.

Rachel-I have been thinking about you non stop and praying for you and DH. I am glad labor wasn't painful. Alexander sounds like a beautiful boy. It is good you get to spend so much time with him and took pictures. I would have sat with Gavin forever and I know you feel the same way. I am praying hard for you hunny that God gives you strength. I mean it that I will always be here to talk (off the bump of course). I wish I could just reach out and hug you and DH.
