		<description>Oh he looks so precious! I hope you are recovering well and I&#039;m so very happy that the delivery, although loooonnnngggg, went smoothly. And at 9 lbs, you should really get some sort of metal!

The day after Christmas is a crazy time for a birthday or delivery though. My daughter&#039;s birthday is Christmas Eve, but I couldn&#039;t have imaged a better Christmas ever!

Congrats!</description>

		<description>Congratulations Emily and Adam! What a great start to the new year. Enjoy every wakeful moment, but do try and get some sleep – I think you’ve earned that privilege.

WELCOME TO THE WORLD JAMES!

Best Wishes,
