I can’t believe that after such a long wait I finally get to announce the arrival last week of our beautiful baby son Ben weighing 9lbs 11oz.
He needed resuscitating when he arrived and then had to go to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for a short spell which was frightening and upsetting to be separated from him right after he was born but we are all safely home now and I am enjoying spending every minute with him, perhaps more conscious of the fact that life is very fragile and very, very precious.



Many many congratulations!
Major CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Congratualtions!! I am so happy to hear that you both are now home and healthy. What a blessing. I will say some extra prayers for you and Ben tonight anyway, though.
Best wishes to you all, Ella!
Congratulations, he really is precious!
He is GORGEOUS Ella!! Congratulations to you and your whole family!! I’m happy everthing is okay.
*hugs*
Huzzah!
I’ve been checking in for days thinking you HAD to have had him by now
Yippee he is finally here! Congrats to you all. What a cute, big boy! Sorry you had to have that NICU experience. Glad it all worked out. Take care and rest when you can!
Many congratulations – he’s beautiful!
Congratulations! He’s beautiful! I’m glad the long wait is over. Enjoy!
Congratulations! He is, of course, just beautiful. So sorry about the scare, but glad he is doing well now. Get some sleep when you can, and enjoy all your boys!
Welcome to the great big world, baby boy! My son turns 2 in 5 hours, he spent 4 days in NICU and is a peach.
Give that fuzzy head a nuzzle from me.
Please delete my multiple idiocy, or take it as congrats times 3. Or both.
Congratulations Ella to you and all the family! He sure is a lovely baby.
Congratulations, carry on enjoying him!
He’s gorgeous! Congratulations Ella!
Congratulations! I’m so happy for you all.

CONGRATULATIONS! He looks just beautiful.
At last Ella, congratulations! Sorry he had a bit of a rough start but hope all is going well now.
I can’t imagine how scared you must have been. I’m so glad he’s finally here and you are both well. You picked a good name, too. My step son is Ben, Harrison (harry) is my boy and you know my girl is Ella – we’re starting to get a little toooo coincidental here!
Congratulations Ella to you and all your family! He was a big boy after all!
We can’t wait to meet him. He looks like a real cutie. Well done!

Congratulations!! What a beautiful one!
Our little one was in NICU after she was born. I understand how you felt. But he looks great and healthy now!
God bless him, what a sweet pea! My son was the same size when he was born…I thought he was big then, but he’s a little giant now. Congratulations and I hope he lets you get plenty of rest!!
Congratulations to you and your family! He is just beautiful!!! Enjoy him!
Congratulations! He’s a little stunner.
