Ta-da! Our sweet boy is here!


After traveling to 20 states in utero, our little Henry Jones Cotner-Bradford decided to see the light of day on February 28, 2011. He weighs 9 pounds, 4 ounces and is 23" long. We feel ecstatic and exhausted and exhilarated all at once. I will update you on all the details of my 45 hours of labor as soon as we're back on our feet…

Sending smooches and other love to you!

I promise I am open to feedback and truly appreciate hearing others' insights into my choices (it's like free therapy!), but please say it in the same way you would say it if we were sitting across from each other at brunch or next to each other on a park bench while our children play.
