Congrats! I have a friend who did the picture-a-week thing, but did it on a rug or blanket or something. Posts them in series on Facebook so everyone can see how big the kid is growing. ---

Such a cute little boy! I can tell you something about how time flies. I remember announcing in this forum the birth of my son. Well, he’s now 4 and a half years old. Enjoy every moment of your child’s life. He changes faster than you can imagine. ---

Enjoy every moment of your child’s life. He changes faster than you can imagine. 100% agreed. Mine is 2 on Sunday, and it’s insane. Congratulations, Antigen, on this awesome new life you’ve created! ---

> [@DingoelGringo](#): > > Wrong attitude. Sell him now while he is little!!! Our 10 month old started walking last week. No returns! (Which actually becomes really problematic when they are teenagers and the warranty has completely run out). ---

> [@Dangerosa](#): > > No returns! > > (Which actually becomes really problematic when they are teenagers and the warranty has completely run out). I kept the explanation of benefits from the insurance company after the sprog’s birth. I told him it was the receipt and that I could return him at any time. The therapy bills will be worth it. 😃 Congrats, **Antigen**. He’s beautiful! ---

Congrats! He is adorable! I know this is something that you have wanted for quite a while so I’m not even going to complain that he doesn’t share my birthday like he was supposed to. Hug him and kiss him and hold him and squeeze him while he still lets you because yes they grow up really fast. Enjoy! ---

> [@Antigen](#): > > He arrived June 21, two weeks early, and he knocked my whole world upside down with love and exhaustion and frustration and wonder. They do that to you. And trust me on this, they keep on doing it to you. Though the ‘exhaustion’ component of that mixture does gradually get smaller over time. > [@MsRobyn](#): > > I kept the explanation of benefits from the insurance company after the sprog’s birth.

So adorbs! Rare to see that much \*blond \*hair on a newborn. Wonder if it’ll stay or fall out. He totally looks like a Liam. Did you have the name picked out before he was born? > [@Antigen](#): > > 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. Precisely why they’re not born as teenagers. You just gotta keep one day ahead of him. Sometimes, one hour. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/theres-a-new-little-person-in-this-world/692214.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/theres-a-new-little-person-in-this-world/692214.md?page=3)
