You guys, thank you so so so much for all your wonderful comments over the last few days. I’ve been wanting to update but we’ve been stuck in the hospital forever — seriously, they would not let us go until late this afternoon, despite everyone’s robust and gaseous good health, we started thinking we were going to have to jailbreak our way out a window or something — and now of course we have some major not-sleeping to do, as well as overcompensating with Riley for this horrifying new arrangement (“Hey Riley, let’s go buy you a MOTORCYCLE! Unless you’d rather have your very own HOOKER?”).
More actual blog content to come soon. Until then, some squishy newborn photos:
Congratulations!!! He is breathtakingly adorable! And I agree that he looks just like you. Well done, beautiful family of four!!
AWWWWW!!!!!! He’s beautiful! Congrats you guys, you sure do make pretty babies.
Oh wow, he is precious! I was also thinking he looks like you. Can’t wait to see comparison pictures between Dylan and Riley. Congrats again to the whole family!
Congratulations! What a cutie! ALMOST (but not quite) makes me want to have another! ;-)
Oh, Linda, wow! I adore that last photo of Smalltopus. He looks perfect. I teared up at the photos, even with my heart of cold, black stone. I didn’t get a chance to comment the other day when you were asking for them, but please know that your writing touches me (and obviously many others!) so deeply that we’ve come to care about you and your family like you were our own. You are very inspiring and brave to share so much of your world with us. So…thanks! (Wow, that’s inadequate.)Enjoy your little peanut. Boys are awesome!
NOM NOM NOM
Congratulations, he’s beautiful!
What a beautiful baby! I love, love, love the photos of you and JB holding him — so sweet. Now we’ll all look forward to photos of Riley loving his little brother. ;)
Oh my goodness, he is absolutely gorgeous! And in those photos he seems to be such a calm, serene, old soul.
I am in love with his little squidgy knees – so freaking ADORABLE!
Congratulations again, he’s beautiful.. and congrats on finally coming home.
Dylan is very very cute…and justsoyouknow, if Riley decides to “send him back,” he can come here and live with us! (It’s always good to have a Plan B. LOL.) Oh, so cute.
Wow, that whole entire little person was in your belly! He already looks like he has a sweet little baby personality. Congrats to all of you–I’m sure Riley will be a great big brother… even if he needs some time to adjust.
OMG LADY YOU HAVE *TWO* KIDS!!
LOOK AT YOUR CUTE BABY OMG
;)
He’s so very precious.
Oh my gosh.
LOOK at him.
You two MADE a whole new human being. A whole brand new person.
Amazing. Just amazing. What a miracle.
Just like a few others who have commented … the first thing I looked for were his toes! He has the Riley toe :) Hurray for you and JB and Riley!
He is so alert! And cute! I can’t wait to meet my second boy now! (due in June)
I can’t wait to read about what Riley thinks of this whole little brother business.
Look! He’s already SUSPICIOUS!
And adorable and edible and I waaaaaant one. Mmm, squishy.
Congrats, darling.
Right now, his knees look just like mine. And nobody says mine are cute. Can you hear your Mom’s heart thumping all the way across the Sound?
Ahh! I have tears in my eyes Linda, he is just perfect. He has superpowers, how else could he make me want another one already when I have a 4 month old? Yikes!
Serisouly, I can almost smell the sweetness from here. Congrats again!
He is perfect.
Oh! He’s so cute and alert and just so perfect! I’ve got to convince my husband to give me one of those.
Oh, he’s just gorgeous (and I think my ovaries just started yelling at me). Congrats to you and your beautiful family!
The look on JB’s face in the picture where he is holding him brought tears to my eyes :) Congrats again. He is so ADORABLE! Makes my uterus skip a beat!
I just fell over and died from the cuteness of that last picture. What a darling little thing.
So adorable. Your pics may have just convinced me to go ahead and have a third baby. Must keep reminding myself that I do not need another.
AWWWWWWWW!!!! SO cute. Can’t wait to hear how Riley adjusts–if I could ever convince my husband to have a second child, that would be my big concern.
Enjoy!! :-)
He is so adorable….I can smell new baby from here…here is to hoping you ANY sleep!
oh my GOD my uterus hurts just looking at him. Can I kiss his cheeks please PLEASE?
He is absolutely beautiful. You have two wonderful, beautiful sons.
Congratulations!
He is adorable. Totally.
what a cutie! congrats, you guys.
unbelievably gorgeous!! Congrats!!!!!!!!!!
OMG he is SO beautiful!
Squishy, indeed! So. Darned. Cute. Must. Smell. Neck. Lots of hugs to the new Big Brother & other assorted Sundries.
Look at that muscle tone in his legs in pic 2! It really shows he was exercising in there.
“Isn’t he lovely….Isn’t he wonderful…Isnt she precious…
I never thought through love wed be
Making one as lovely as he…
But isnt she lovely made from love…
Sorry – had to channel stevie for a moment:)
Congrats and best wishes — what’s his name?
Oh, those knees! So unbearably cute! (And the rest of him is, as well!) Congratulations. Enjoy this wonderful time as a new family of four!
There’s a photo of my dad holding me as a newborn that reminds me so much of the one of JB and Dylan. The love and fascination just radiates out of the image and now I’m going to make myself cry! Congratulations, good luck (with the not sleeping), and can’t wait to hear more!!
Oh my God, He is beautiful. I love it. He is a natural with the camera already.
Congrats. He’s gorgeous! Beautiful fam!
Too freakin’ cute! Take care of yourself. I remember those first few days after a c-section, those memories make it hard for me to want to do it all again. :)
He’s gorgeous! That’s the best thing about having a c-section, the babies are look so much nicer than those who had been squeezed out. I hope your recovery is easy.
What a lovely little guy – can’t wait to hear how the baptism of fire goes with him and Riley….
be well, all of you!

Linda, he is beautiful. He looks like you I think. Except, of course, in the areas where he doesn’t and JB can obviously take credit for that.
Congratulations and, Riley will come around, I promise.
Oh those sweet, sweet baby legs! Congratulations!
Congratulations on a perfect baby! Enjoy this time – it goes by so much faster the second time around! I hope you are able to to take some time for yourself to recover. That’s harder to find the second time around, too. Best wishes to you and your family.
HE is adorable. Congratulations!!
How sweet. He’s just beautiful. Just love those wrinkly knees. Congrats!
He’s beautiful! Congratulations again!
Congratulations Linda, JB and Riley! Welcome Baby Dylan! :)
