    Talking My Disappearance

    Yes, technically it's highly imperfect, but please feel free to critique the subject matter. Could I have improved upon it at all?

    Re: My Disappearance

    Chunk, it wasn't my doing. LOL. This is my newborn son, at 2 days old. He came into my life on 1/23 at a whopping 6 lb 10 oz. after making me wait 10 years for his arrival. And kept me on bedrest for 8 months (therefore my disappearance). The pose was completely of his own choosing.

    He is LOVELY. I am so happy for you! And I can't even fathom 8 months of bedrest...you must be so relieved to have him here and healthy!

    Beautiful photo.

    Re: My Disappearance

    Congratulations proud Mum. He is adorable and it is a lovely, lovely photograph with all those great blues. Maybe a little contrast for that extra bounce.

    Bet you are saying to him now that "you are well worth the wait".

    I still enjoy and often look at the earliest shots of my three children. They are young adults now.
    Enjoy and value every single minute.

    Re: My Disappearance

    Congrats D. Kid looks fine. Is he holding his ears, saying "I don't wanna hear it?" 8 months bedrest, wow, I know a woman who had to do about 5 months, I thought that was tough

    Hi D,
    Congratulations! The baby is very adorable. I espeically like his arm gesture which is similar to that of the monkey on his clothes.

    Re: My Disappearance

    Thank you all! Yeah, I guess I'd be hard pressed to improve upon him. I find him exquisite and he was very well worth the wait. But I will do my best not to bombard you with baby pics left, right and center. LOL.

    Re: My Disappearance

    Congrats D

    Nice bundle bet he's spoilt rotten and already used to the camera

    Thought you'd been quiet but how come your still sane after all that bed rest - it would drive me nuts - but then again I already am

    Perfect photo.
