Our gorgeous boy Nico arrived on Thursday morning (6 days after his due date. So much for my prediction he would come early!) and we couldn’t be more in love! More details to come, but it was a great delivery and we are all healthy and recovering. Thank you for holding the space for us while we waited! We felt your love and blessings and still do…

Born at 9:58 AM, November 4th, 2010

Congratulations — he is big and beautiful! Feel well.
congrats! and I love the name Nico. That last photo of the brothers is so darn sweet.
I am SO HAPPY to hear the news! Be very kind to yourself while you adjust to 2 precious boys. You will do great! I remember feeling immense guilt that my 2nd (newborn) was taking away time from my first. This passes in a flash, give yourself a few months leeway. It was nice to hear other mommies felt like I did. You may not experience this, but if you do – know that Ben KNOWS you love him and your feelings are all normal!
Yay for brothers!!!
Mazel Tov, Andrea! He is beautiful! So glad the delivery went smoothly. You all look so happy! Enjoy precious little Nico – love his name, by the way! Susie <3
Welcome, Nico! Congratulations to you all. I knew he was here but am still gobsmacked by the sweetness.

Hoooray! what a beautiful family! what a magical son and look at his great cute brother!
Congratulations! And I hope all went good and you’re resting now. Cheers!
Super congratulations! I am so happy for all of you! Many years ago Maggie M. suggested that my son, Soren, looks a lot like Ben. Tonight while I was reading you post on lovely Nico Boon (great name, btw), Soren was looking over his shoulder and asked if that picture of Ben and Nico was a picture of him with his little brother.
Enjoy settling in with your new addition! I have two boys too and they have a lot of fun together.
Hugs, Jennifer
lovely lovely lovely new life. he is a lucky boy to have you guys I reckon
Dear, dear Andrea! You look unbelievably radiant and rested … how do you do it? You are all just glowing and velvety!
So you had your second boy on my husband’s birthday and your first on my mother’s! I’m enjoying that commonality. I love watching your inspiring family grow. I will enjoy following the evolution. Ben … I just can’t believe how grown-up he is! Where does the time run off?
Congratulations and much joy to all of you.
