Baby Boy!

We have been blessed with our little man, Alexander, also will be known as Xander.  It's been an emotional roller coaster getting to this point, but as we all say, it was worth it in the end.  He was born on April 2nd, I was in the room for the delivery, and was offered a room next to birth mom (LP) to stay the nights.  It was an incredible experience and LP and her family are AMAZING!!  I call this a dream adoption because LP and I have SO much in common, her mom reminds me much of my mom, and her sister is just as sweet.  LP and I spent Saturday to Monday together and I loved every minute getting to know her, her getting to know us, and asking questions to let Alexander know how much he is loved.  We are doing an open adoption, something when we first started the adoption process, we said no way, but after meeting her, we couldn't say no.  She's a part of our family now, and will always be.  My youngest sister was able to come up for the weekend as well with her girls so we all chatted and LP was also able to meet my oldest sister and her daughters via webcam.  LP's mom gave Alexander a bunch of personalized gifts and outfits.  He's so loved by everyone!  I can't wait to post pictures of my adorable little man, but will wait until the 12th.  Xander and I came "home" (hotel) yesterday.  He's such a good baby, I'm so in love with him already.
Well that's my update, sorry I've been MIA for awhile.

Have a great day!
