It’s A Boy!

We’re both home and doing well. It’s so nice to have everyone together. The girls are thrilled, and mom and dad are ecstatic but exhausted. He’s a sweet, mellow baby, absolutely made for cuddling.
I’ll have more later, but right now I need a nap 
WOW 10 lbs 13 oz, I guess all that homegrown produce was good for him!
Congratulations to you and your family Colleen! We are all very excited for Alexander’s arrival. Glad you and baby are doing well.
Congratulations! He looks like he’ll be able to handle those three older sisters just fine.
WOW! I don’t think he’s big enough. Congratulations and best wishes, Colleen.

Congratulations on your little boy!
Congratulations and best wishes to the entire family!
Wow.
I don’t know what to say other than congratulations.
Very best of wishes to you, Colleen, and to new baby Alexander and all your family. How wonderful! And what a sweet little fellow he is
Get rested up now and enjoy your family.
Congratulations, and welcome to little Alec, or is it Alex, Sandy, Zander, Al, Xander… oh, do you want to call him Will, Bill, Willie, Billy instead???
Best wishes to you all!
Welcome to A.W. and to you into the fourkid club.
And for the record, all babies are meant for cuddling. All my best wishes for the 6 of you
TEN POUNDS? I think you have an undergardener in the making (they do the heavy lifting).
Congratulations! Susan
Bless your heart. He is a precious darling. So glad all went well. Enjoy cuddling. They do grow so fast.~~Dee
What a beautiful addition to your family!! Congratulations to all of you!! Enjoy your nap!!
Colleen, I’m so happy for y’all! He’s a very handsome boy.
Congratulations! The nice thing about big babies is they sometimes (you can hope) sleep better. Best wishes to you all!
Awesome effort Colleen. It’s great to welcome your little man into the world. All the best for you and your whole family.
oh YAY! He is adorable! Thanks for sharing the photo and the news, Colleen. Congrats!
Congratulations! He’s so beautiful.
Wow, 10+ pounds? You go! Congratulations!
I think his initials say it all “AW” – only it would have to be awww. He’s precious.
Congratulations!
A new baby?! Wow and a boy at that! Enjoy!
by all means take as many naps as you can! You deserve them…what a darling baby {{hugs}}
Welcome Alexander William ~ lovely baby, great name. It’s a good thing he didn’t wait any longer to arrive…10+ pounds is impressive, but 11 pounds would be scary!
Colleen, sure hope you, your spouse and daughters are all well and enjoying the bump-up to being a family of six.

Wow—I am totally overwhelmed. Thank you so much to everyone for the well wishes. You know I usually try to respond individually, but time is short (as you can guess
) Please know that I am touched that so many people are celebrating Alex’s birth with us. This is one of the reasons I love the gardenblogging community so much.
Thank you so much!
Congratulations on bringing home your son! I recently found out we will be welcoming our second child in October.
Our first daughter was born in the middle of June and we lost our ability to focus on anything but her. Thankfully this child will come after our gardening season is over.
