  12. See, I told you it was a boy!! Reverse psychology - lately, it is always the opposite of what I guess, so by guessing girl, I was in effect predicting a boy. Thank you, I'm here all week, ba-dum-pah crash! SOOOOOO HAPPYYYYYYY! Congratulations you beautiful family!!! We love you. The universe is asking for boys this year!!! Can't wait to see you all - Love,
    Steph

  15. YAY!!!! I have been thinking about you all weekend, wondering if the little bebe had arrived. Congratulations!! I hope you'll share more with us soon...it is all just so exciting. You have helped me so much with my own pregnancy (I found what I'd like to call a "vaccination-friendly" doc through one of the links you sent me, and I've just ordered a fabulous new co-sleeper!), and I can't thank you enough for this. Enjoy your new, beautiful family member:) xoxo

  41. Dear Leigh,

    I've been reading your blog for a few moths now. I am 4 weeks behind you - we are waiting for the baby to arrive on September 29th. I can't tell you how thrilled I am for you and your new baby - blessings on your family! You guys are great! This morning I told Andrei (my hubby)as he was waking up - Leigh has a baby boy! Yeeey!
    We both want to send our good thoughts to you and your new baby and the Kiddo and T, from all the way here, in Bucharest, too all they way there, in the Big Apple!

  44. Congratulations! I am thrilled for you! One of my favorite quotes:

    Before you were conceived I wanted you
    Before you were born I loved you
    Before you were here an hour I would die for you
    This is the miracle of life.
