    Smile Introducing Alexander...

    I wanted to share our good baby news with you all. Alexander James Knight was born on Friday, April 18th at 2:59 pm via c-section. We came home from the hospital Monday night, and are pretty sleep-deprived. But otherwise, everyone is doing well. I wanted to thank you all for your thoughts, prayers, and well-wishes the past several months. It was definitely a rocky pregnancy, but it had a happy ending.

    -Susan

    How adorable! It is amazing how fast you forget how tiny babies are! Enjoy every second, and I am wishing you as much sleep as possible.

    When you start to cook, as when you begin to live, you think that the point is to improve the technique until you end up with something perfect, and that the reason you haven’t been able to break the cycle of desire and disillusion is that you haven’t yet mastered the rules. Then you grow up, and you learn that that’s the game.

    Susan -

    Congratulations to you and your family. What a beautiful boy! Welcome to the world, Alexander!

    Congratulations Susan, he is beautiful. Now, get some sleep.
    Life is all about a$$; you're either covering it, laughing it off, kicking it, kissing it, busting it, trying to get a piece of it, behaving like one, or you live with one.

    Congratulations!! He is beautiful!

    Looking at the picture makes me remember how wonderful it is when a newborn curls up on your chest. I miss that!

    What a miracle. Enjoy every moment.

    Susan....Alexander is a beautiful miracle. Your pregnancy and birth of your son was one that I can remember almost 27 years ago. Our daughter was delivered by C-section and doctor commented that she was a miracle...such as your Alexander. Get some rest and enjoy every minute because before you know it he will be a young man having his own family.

    Hugs....Sue
