Congratulations, Natalie, on your beautiful new son! He is so precious and perfect!
The whole family seems to be beaming about the new addition. I do hope you will enlarge and frame #8- that's a memory to preserve forever.
But good grief, you are Superwoman! He's only a few days old and you are out and about doing so many things. I do hope that you'll allow yourself to take it easy a little and just enjoy your sweet snuggly new babe. Please let your husband do some of the errands, and let your relatives do the cooking and wait on you at your family celebration!
Sorry, this grandma/ mom/ former lactation consultant/ fellow physician just couldn't help giving that unsolicited advice.
You do look AMAZING for just having given birth. You're already looking so polished and fashionable. Just don't worry about your belly- it will snap back in no time, and meanwhile the strategies you used in your early months of pregnancy are already serving you well now.
I'm so happy for you, and for your whole family! Again, heartiest congratulations!
Marcy
