18 hours of labor and one natural childbirth delivery later arrived Baby Poetic in all of his eight pounds and twelve ounces glory! May I introduce you to my beautiful son, Jet Mercury?
While the start of his life involved a full week in the ICU due to respiratory problems, Jet was able to come home with us last week, and my husband and I feel so blessed to have this angel in our life. The fragility of life, especially in such a tiny body, truly puts the priorities about health and love in perspective.
Thank you so much for all of your encouragement and supportive comments! It may take me a week or two to return to a regular publication schedule (from lack of sleep, I’m not even sure what day this is…), and I apologize for my delay in responding to comments, questions, and emails — but I do hope you may understand the little bundle of joyous distraction in my arms!
