The Nuzzle Puzzle: The Joy of the Boy...

Hi Max!

We've received many, many gifts, well-wishes, and cards before and upon your arrival. We are a blessed family with a strong support group and a surrounding of love, hope, and optimism. I want to share a card we received today.

This card comes from Sharon Bower. She has worked with our team for many years as a title representative. Truly a part of our work family. Here is what her card said (and by the way, the picture of the baby boy on it looks EXACTLY like Max):

"One of the sweetest things about
welcoming a new baby boy
is learning how you fit together...

The way his sleepy weight
fills your arms so perfectly
and how that place
where neck and shoulder meet
suddenly seems made
for him to snuggle his head into.

But even more than that,
it's discovering just how beautifully
he fits into your life -
how there was always a place
right in the heart of your family
just waiting for this precious boy
to come and fill it with so much love."

This Hallmark card hit a note with me. I named it The Nuzzle Puzzle: The Joy of the Boy. Isn't it amazing at how his little body fits in the crook of an arm or on one's chest? Like two puzzle pieces melding together in a nuzzle. The joy is indescribable.

Max, you certainly fill a gap in your parents' life that we didn't even know we had.

Now if you could just sleep through the night. :0)

To Your Success,

It's a....

So, we went in to the doctor's on Wednesday. It was a beautiful, yet warm day. The yards were looking great, great for playing catch with a baseball or ring around the rosey. Looking at the clouds, you could see different shapes start to form here and there - an army man, a doll in a dress, a gun, a teacup, and on and on. The radio was blaring some of the great songs - Girls Just Want to Have Fun, Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys, and some Boys II Men songs. :) I drove to the doctor's office whistling a happy tune. I was as nervous as I had been the entire time of Sheri's pregnancy. I was finally going to know...

The sonogram went well. All is healthy. We made a healthy...

Bay-Bee Boy! :)

Yes, we are having a boy in November (due date of November 12). We're excited. We would have been happy either way. Now we are going to go through our boy's names to come up with a fitting one. We're thinking about (we'd like to stay with MMM theme):

Matthew Michael Maher
Michael Maxwell Maher or Maxwell Michael Maher
Mason Michael Maher
Miles Mason Maher
Matthew Maxwell Maher
Michael Morgan Maher
Michael Maddox Maher

To Your Success,
