HE’S HERE! 10lbs. 1oz and 23 inches long. All done without the aid of an epidural. Take a look.

Welcome, little guy.
Congrats, Dani and the whole “Postcards” family!
Holy crap!!! Congratulations. He is beautiful!!!
BTW, you are the first blogger I have ever encountered who managed to have a baby without taking a day off blogging. It’s remarkable, really.
Hello, Brand New Canadian Boy!
He’s lovely, Dani! Are your other boys over the moon too?

Well, I should bloody well hope so!
Congratulations!
Welcome to the world, Little One.
You’ve got a great family waiting for you.
Yipee!! He is so beautiful, Dani! And I think he looks like you.
What’s Kerry talking about? He doesn’t look at all like Simon (rolling eyes). Are you sure that’s not a photo from 4 years ago?? Just checking in for an update, or perhaps a name, well??
So cute… congrats (on the baby and the no epi)!!!
Mazel tov to you and the whole family, from all of us!
I agree with Mad…not even a day off! NO EPIDURAL?! You really are a hero. He looks adorable.
Congrats!
Yay!!!!
He’s beautiful. And you’re awesome. His head isn’t even pointy! Did not having the epidural let you get up so gravity helped?
He’s exactly the weight my DD was, but longer and slimmer.
And wait, isn’t *now* LATER as in “to be named later” ???
Welcome little one, and congratulations to the whole family!
Congratulations!!!!!!
I AGREE WITH KERRY….HE LOOKS JUST LIKE SIMON…GORGEOUS
Congratulations to all of you! He’s a very handsome chap. I can’t wait to meet him.
Congratulations and OH MY!
He’s as big as my boys were at 3 months!!!
Congratulations, DAni. He’s beautiful.
And laughing at Mad’s comment. Geez, lady; haven’t you heard of mat leave?
Congratulations! And welcome to world of parenting three boys. You will love it! Speaking of which, my captcha says “tensions great”. Teehee…
I love him already
Congratulations!
What a sweet juicy beautiful baby boy.
Congratulations!
So much love in those eyes! What a sweetie
Congratulations to your whole family on the arrival (finally!) of your new baby boy.
Hooray! Congratulations!! He’s beautiful!
But 10 pounds and NO EPIDURAL? Wow! I’m wildly impressed.
Congratulations! He’s beautiful, can’t wait to hear more about him.
Late to the party as usual – CONGRATULATIONS!! He is absolutely adorable. Can’t wait to hear your story.
Captcha – New Repayment!
He’s absolutely beautiful. I’m weeping here.
Hugs and kisses to you and the new baboo.
Congratulations to all of you.
Wow! What a beautiful baby.
CONGRATULATIONS!
That first picture is just priceless. Congratulations on your beautiful boy.
Congratulations Dani and family. He looks just like his brothers already. OH so handsome. And congrats Dani on another big baby, you go girl. Beautiful, just beautiful.
WONDERFUL!
Congrats, Dani.
Captcha – Changed Major.
Beautiful baby Dani!! Congrats
Oh, Dani! Congratulations! He is beautiful!
(Ten pounds? WITHOUT an epidural? You ROCK.)
Dani,
My first thought was he looks like Simon too! Job well done Mommy! Looks like he is settling in right away.
Don’t stress yourselves about the name part, Logan wasn’t named for 3 days after birth, I looked for HOURS through books saying the name and looking at him before I was happy! So, I’ll be patient till you name your big guy!
CONGRATULATIONS! I am delighted for all of you. Thanks for sharing the news and pictures so promptly. He is wonderful, looks big and healthy, and yet so small and sweet… I think he has big strong hands and feet – might be a fine hockey player, or handyman, or pianist? Maybe all three!
Welcome to the world, little guy, and way to go Dani!
Yeah for the family!!
Welcome to the world little one! Did you know friends, family and complete strangers like myself were waiting anxiously awaiting your arrival?!
Congratulations to you all. It has been quite the adventure and I thank you for sharing it with us in cyberspace.
*standing ovation*
Amazing work! (And wow, big! Clearly if you had gestated him any longer he would have come out walking and talking!
)
Congratulations! He’s beautiful– definitely worth the wait!!!
Congrats!!!!!!!! How beautiful!!!!!
Congratulations!!!!! He’s sooo beautiful!
These pictures gave me a big smile (until I read the part about no epidural).
Oh, boy am I late! Congratulations! He is beautiful.
I remember what 8’12 felt with no drugs. I bow to your superior va ja ja.
Congrats. He’s lovely.
Congratulations! My girlfriend was excited to hear that the newly named player shares her birthday! According to her, it is the best day of the year to be born. Congrats!
Captcha: Life Sparked.
Indeed.
Congratulations to all of you – he is GORGEOUS.
So sorry I’m late with the congratulations – one-handed blogging being done over here too. CONGRATULATIONS. He’s beautiful!
No drugs? Really??? WOW. You’re my hero.
Congratulations!
He’s perfect! Congratulations!!!
Dani, just checking in after being a bad blog citizen for a bit… what a beauty he is!!!
Congrats to you and your beautiful family!
I’m so behind (and a terrible bloggy citizen) but I pop by and find THIS!
Wow, what a beautiful, stunning big baby boy.
And no epidural at 10 lbs? You are a queen my dear. Simply stunning!
