I guess babies heed belly eviction notices!
A few hours after I wrote my desperate eyeliner note asking the little guy to “get out already, please and thank you,” I began having contractions! A few hours after that, I was admitted to the birth center – and after 2 days of labor {yes, really – such a long, draining, painful experience, but oh so worth it!}, I said hello to the most precious little face I’ve ever, ever seen:
He was oh so worth the wait!

Happy Birthday to the long-awaited little guy
aka
Zavier Reid

Congrats on your bundle of Joy! I was wondering if the little guy had made his appearance yet and here is. Little Zavier is so precious and may God continue to bless the three of you. Are y’all going to be doing nicknames? I’m putting in a vote for Zay or Zav ;-)
Look at my precious grandbaby!!!!!! Such an Angel. Love you this MMMMMUUUUCCCCHHH>
He’s beautiful!!! So perfect! And an awesome name to match! Congratulations, may he live in peace and prosperity and bring those around him joy and abundance.
Congratulations. I think kids really do know when mommy really has had it and means it when she wants them out. LOL! Congratulation and now come all the sticky, smelly, lovely parts….for the next 18 years at least. ;o)
My best, Lynn
Thanks so much, everyone! :)
