Our amazing miracle arrived on Wednesday morning. We will write more later but all of you have asked for pictures so here are some for you to enjoy. Allen and I were blessed to be in the room with Lorisha and see the entire miracle unfold. He weighed in at 9 lbs, 9 oz and 18 1/2 inches long. However, now the weight is being disputed by the nurse who said he couldn’t have weighed that much. Anyway, he is a healthy boy, perfect in every way.
For those of you who know me, you’ll get a kick out of the fact that I slept on the floor in his room last night so that Allen could get a good night’s sleep. It was a joy just to be near our little bundle. As all of the parents told me, it would change my life. And, it sure has! We’ll write more later.
The pics include:
Allen and Stuart gazing at their bundle of joy right after birth
Allen and Stuart holding him for the first time
Uncle Gary, who is also the Godfather, holding him for the first time
Grandma Irma holding him in her mink coat (how appropriate)
And, the boys with the wonderful Lorisha who was the best surrogate we could have ever asked for!
Enjoy and Thank you for all of your support and love through all of this!
Love,
Stuart and Allen

Congratulations Stuart and Allen! He is beautiful. Our twins Della and Joseph are now 4.5 years old and we can hardly believe it! Time flies so enjoy every moment…

Congratulations!
He is so cute! I can’t imagine you sleeping on the floor, but I’ll be sure to remind Quentin if he ever comes to me asking my advice on which of you to approach for a sports car.
And I’ve got to admire a woman courageous enough to wear mink while holding a brand new baby… Very brave!
