Well now I read the other post and feel bad about making fun of Dave being tired. Dave, I'll make it up to you by losing at pool. Mike.
What a precious little guy! Congratulations again!
I love these pics!!! He is so cute :)
He is beautiful! You look so happy (and tired)! Congrats and keep the pics coming!
Aaawwww!! And it looks like he is not, as the earlier pics might mislead one to think, built like the michelin man, but actually a pretty small guy :). Congrats - can't wait to meet him.
Your son is quickly learning what a lucky boy he is to have you as parents! He is adorable. I'm sure each day will get easier. Hugs to you all! I'm glad Mama & Papa Lo are there for you.
Mr. Darcy is certainly a cute one. Can't wait to see more pictures.
WOW! You make such a radiant mom, Laurelle. And little Darcy is so beautiful. I love the pictures, and the stories. Thanks for sharing the journey with us. Wish I was one of the lucky ones who'll get to meet him when you get home. I'm still in London, but who knows, maybe life will bring me over your way (before Darcy graduates from college!). Love, Michelle
