Hi, everyone! Malcom arrived yesterday (4/21) at 3:21 in the afternoon, 6 lbs., 10 oz, 19 inches long. I will post pics when we are home from the hospital.

Congratulations Dusty! I can't wait to see pictures of baby Malcom. What do the girls think of him? I bet they're completely smitten with him.

Carmen- I LOVE that bedding! The pink and green, the ladybugs, it's so cute.

Kari- you have a beautiful little baby bump. Don't you just love kicking, moving, and hiccuping? It was my favorite part of being pregnant.

Welcome, Malcom! Can't wait to see your first photos!

**Maya & Inka's mommy** · 04-23-2009, 05:26 AM

Woohoo, congrats with your new baby Malcolm, Dusty!!!

Carmen, I love the bedding. Ladybugs are so...I don't know, but I've always loved them.

Even as a kid, I would hold a ladybug.

And Kari, yes! I LOVE feeling and seeing her move. They are such unforgettable moments. And, I honestly think they are like that for me because of David, more than because of Baby. His reactions are priceless, and the time we spend watching her, feeling her, and laughing about her are a joy. She really does the most moving immediately after he reads Dr Seuss to her. It's really sweet.

I love my growing family.

Enjoy it, every single second of it, even when you wake up in the night and can't get back to sleep because of it. I loved being pregnant so much and when Nathan was born even though I was so happy and excited to have him in my arms I was also sad that the pregnancy was over. My body felt empty and I hated that feeling. Justin was like David, excited over every movement he saw and felt!

Oh, yeah, I know I'm going to miss being pregnant. I can already tell it will be a bittersweet thing, when our girl gets here. 99% sweet, of course.

I absolutely love this experience, and am so so happy to blessed with the gift of it. I want to get video of us watching her move.

I know my mother would love to see that. She'll see me in June, but won't see both of us until just before or just after baby's here.

I still remember those giggles... awww...

one thing I do not like to remember is when almost full term my kid decided to stretch.. I had a foot poking our through my ribs.. LOL....

one thing I dearly liked...(just like you with hubby reaction)... it that he would tap my belly two times and my boy would kick back two times too!!... it kept us in awe....

Welcome to the world, Malcom! One of Lady's Human's best friends shares your name, and he's a big strong guy, and a nurse.
