    Wow- what a difference a day makes!
    I’ve been following your blog for months, and am so happy to finally see Sheperd in your arms and smiling that sweet smile!
    That first big laugh from my new daughter, on about day three, was one of the sweetest moments in my life, and I’m sure it was the same for you.
    What a sweet little darling he is!
    God bless you on the rest of yoru journey!

    That is quite possibly the most precious thing I’ve seen in days. Thank you for sharing his process with us. We are hoping to embark on our own journey soon and this is so cheering.

    I have loved what you’ve been saying about attachment parenting in the other blog and I’m anxious to start my own research and implement. We did AP to a degree with our bios after reading Dr. Sears’ books, and are ready to take it up a notch or ten with our newest one.

    I’ve become addicted to your blogs ๐Ÿ™‚
