Welcome to the Family, Ian!

Hey Ho, our family of three
Is growing beyond my mommy, daddy, and me
Hey Ho, just how will it be
When we add another branch to our family tree



I’ll be the protector, so strong and wise
I’ll be the cheerleader always by his side
This cute, little baby will soon enough see
No one could love him any more or better than me



I’ll teach him all the things I’ve learned along the way
I’ll help him blow out the candles on his first birthday
We’ll grow up together, side by side
Take care of one another - full of love, full of pride

Do you remember that commercial? The father has to dial his family collect so instead of making them accept the charges he delivers a run-on sentence to save them a few bucks..."Wehadababyitsaboy"!

For some reason I can't get that phrase out of my head! Or maybe it's because we...
HAD A BABY...IT'S A BOY!!

Ian Miles Saraiva was born Friday, March 5th at 1:39am. He weighs 6 lbs. 12 oz. and is 21 inches long. Thankfully this little guy who decided to wrap his cord around his neck twice and complete it with a "true knot" is in PERFECT health!

Pictures coming soon!

Any day now...right?!!

I need daily reassurance that I won't be pregnant forever. I didn't feel like this with Erin. Planned C-sections will do that for you. Every extra little movement, every extra braxton hicks contraction, another bathroom trip needed in the middle of the night is bringing me closer and closer to meeting my new little miracle...

Right?!!
