He arrived June 21, two weeks early, and he knocked my whole world upside down with love and exhaustion and frustration and wonder. Please say hi to [Liam Arthur](https://antijen.shutterfly.com/119#118). I like him a whole bunch. I think I’ll keep him even if he never lets me sleep again. ---

Well, congratulations! I’m sure he’s adorable but I’m blocked from picture sites at work. You’ll feel better in a couple of years. 😃 ---

That hair! Congratulations! He’s beautiful! I’ve got my 2.5 month old on my lap, and he occasionally lets me sleep, so there’s hope for you! It’s so hard, and so exhausting, but it’s so worth it. I can’t imagine my life without him (though sometimes I’d like 15 minutes to myself without hearing him cry…!) Enjoy all the “firsts”, and savour these moments when he is still so tiny and helpless! Mine went and got 5 inches longer and doubled his birth weight in 11 weeks, and I wonder where my tiny baby has gone! ---

Congratulations! A little advice - take a picture of yourself holding him once per week. Same position if you can. You just won’t believe how fast they change at this stage. Hang in there - it gets easier. ---

> [@Nava](#): > > Hey, he copied your chin! Copyright infringement! > > Congratulations! Really? I only see my husband in him, but maybe that’s because he’s a boy. Thanks, all, for the well-wishes. So far I’m learning how to be a mom at the same pace he’s learning to be a baby, so it’s all working out. But yes, I miss sleep very much. ---

I like him a whole bunch. I think I’ll keep him even if he never lets me sleep again. Wrong attitude. Sell him now while he is little!!! Our 10 month old started walking last week.
