Nathaniel Jem, born at 3.59 am on 23 December 2006, weighing 4 kg or 8 lbs 13 oz:
The following day, Christmas eve, after his first bath:
We’re home now; Nate is good-natured and hungry; he is even cuter when awake. His father is besotted. I am very sore and very happy.
Thank you everyone, so much for your love and good wishes. What a very lucky baby he is to have so many friends.






Look at the hair! He’s adorable, and I’m so happy you’re both home safe , healthy and happy.
Julie, he’s just beautiful. Congrats!
Hugs

Gorgeous pics, Julie. My son was the same weight – snap – so if Nate brings you even half as much joy as Chris brings me, you’re in for a lovely life
And I agree with Biddy. He looks like a guitarist.
Congratulations on the addition of that beautiful baby boy to your family!
Well Done! He’s a lovely little chap.
Congratulations and best wishes to all three of you. May 2007 be a GREAT year for you all.
What a beautiful boy, Julie! Congratulations to you and your husband. Enjoy these first few days together–you’ll cherish them always.
A new life. A new love. Welcome to the world Nathaniel!

SQUEEEE, Julie! Beautiful, beautiful. So happy for you and Dave. Nathaniel will have the best of parents. Take care.
Dear Julie,
Welcome Nate! So pleased for you all. Caught up with your dad at the dump (OK, so that’s really Maine-like) prior to Nate’s arrival…. I loved seeing his excitement. Here’s to your family, to your new life…to Nate’s wonderful future in our world.
Always,
Rich
Julie, you’re a star, whether creating an unputdownable book or an unputdownable baby. What a looker! Just like his mum.
Bet he’s got all the dance moves too:-))
Here’s to a fabulous 2007 to you all.
What a honey-pie! You are very clever. Esther and I love his spiky hair.
