You did it, though!!! You birthed a baby the most beautiful way possible! Your birth atmosphere sounded so much like mine were...what a beautiful experience. Breastfeeding has been hard for me for the first 2 weeks then its painless and easy and purely enjoyable. Babies couldn't be any cuter than when they are breastfeeding. :) Collin, I always thought you would be a wonderful birth partner for Nikki, and it sounds like you really were!!!! I remember so well the state of awe you are in as a family. You'll probably continue to feel it every day as little Frederick starts growing and learning. I love you and your family!! Congratulations on your huge feat of bringing a perfect little one to the world. :) You will be awesome parents!!!Robin Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09043263442165502232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158091354846575714.post-36987945736853484872011-09-22T16:03:22.051-07:002011-09-22T16:03:22.051-07:00Nikki!!!

The I Love Lucy clip was hilarious, the photos precious, and the emotion completely transcended text and computer medium. So happy for you guys. Wish I could see little Fred. I'm sending you a million hugs and congrats on being able to DO that! And hugs to Collin for being a daddy and the kitties even for being 'siblings' and mostly to you and Fred, because... ah! I just want to hug you all! Seriously so happy for you. And I cannot believe all that hair.

It's such an insanely painful but beautiful experience. Sometimes I think being a woman sucks,but I wouldn't trade the experience of creating life for anything in the world. Frederick is absolutely beautiful. He is picture perfect! And that 5%..?
