You guys, I seriously thought I was going to be pregnant forever the farther past my January 1st due date I got lol. I donā€™t even know where this giant baby was hiding in my belly either because I never looked more than 7/8 months pregnant even in the days before he was born:eek: We are so very much in love with our perfect, handsome boy:07: Kiwi has also responded exactly as we hoped, with gentle curiosity about the new ā€œhuman chickā€œ:rolleyes: Of course he will obviously have no physical contact with the baby but he has been very intrigued all day about the new little person in the house and hanging out nearby.

Aw April. Congratulations! Couldnā€™t be happier for you and your husband. I know you must be so relieved to have it all over, though. Now the loving and spoiling can begin:)

Oh April! I'm so happy for you! Congratulations on the arrival of this gorgeous little boy (I *do* love his name)!

Please give Caspian a big kiss from Aunty Trisha across the ocean. I have a feeling he's going to be a front-row forward (or whatever the equivalent of that is in American football). Do enjoy him while he's little: they grow up so quickly and suddenly you wonder what happened to the adorable little person in the crib. XX

Thank you al for the well wishes. Little Caspian is a very healthy and sturdy baby! Good appetite, sleeps for 3 hour stretches and is also very laid back/doesnā€™t cry very much. Still a bit in shock about his size:eek: Now that Iā€™m finally feeling pretty much back to normal, I thought Iā€™d share some pics and (hopefully) videos!

Leaving for the birth center last Tuesday looking like a disaster lol:
