Welcome Leo Charles Berman...

Abby, Jessica and David are so happy to welcome Leo Charles Berman into this world and into the family. Born 2:30pm Friday, December 17th weighing in at 7 lbs 8 ozs and measuring 19 inches.





Baby and Mom are doing great!  Abby greeted Mommy with two major screams of "Mommaaaa!! Mommaaaa!" in an angry yet excited fashion. Abby then greeted Leo with a big kiss and gentle pats.  Leo was not in his mommy's hands at the time, however, nor was he in his mommy's hands the entire visit with big sister Abby.  Daddy picked up Leo from Grandma and Abby said "Noooo, Daddy, nooooo"  Then Daddy put Leo into the bassinet and Abby looked at Leo and said "Night, night" then promptly grabbed Daddy's hands and walked him away.  This is going to be fun!

Leo looks a lot like his Daddy but at times looks like Momma too. One thing is for sure, he is definitely Abby's little brother.  Both had the eskimo look with the black hair and almond eyes and big lips.

I'm recovering nicely, no complications like my c-section with the twins.  This was a piece of cake relatively. Dr. Daly was fabulous.  Leo has been nursing and is most content by mommy's side, I am enjoying every minute of it. Having the second child makes you appreciate all the things you took for granted the first time because you were so freaked out to do something wrong.  It's much more relaxed this go round.  You do forget how small they are!  The skills come back just like riding a bicycle.

I miss Abby so much though.  She's so much fun. It's hard to imagine that you could love another child as much as the first.  The heart just expands so you can love them both at the same time but this will be a fun love experiment.  I can't wait to be with the both of them at home (even though I'm very nervous about it too).  Things are moving along so quickly.  Need to be present in every moment!!!  Life is beautiful my friends!   So thankful for a successful delivery and a healthy addition to the family.
