Baby Aedan has arrived!
Our little boy arrived July 12, weighing in at a whopping 11 pounds 1 ounce. He is doing well, eating, sleeping and pooping and crying when he needs something. We are also doing well, and Willow hasn't gone berserk yet (phew!). Many of you have asked what if anything we need. The answer is: not much. We're pretty well stocked for baby stuff. There are a few items though that are "wrappable" though, and they are listed below.
Less Wrappable (but very welcome) gift ideas...
- A visit with Erin once Dan has gone back to work. It can be tricky to get out with a little one, let alone two - so your company is mightily appreciated!
- A meal you can drop by after baby has arrived - from your loving hands, the grocery store, or your local take-out place. If you bring it, we will eat it!
- Any and all help you're willing to offer: playing with Willow, holding the baby, picking up that something from the grocery store for us.....anything and everything is appreciated.
- Babysitting!....there cannot be a greater gift than this for our children, us or our marriage.
