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.

My first son was 8lb 13oz – and I’m pleased to tell you they do NOT get bigger each time.
Better out than in, isn’t it! Much love.
Julie & Dave,

Dear Julie,
I’m so glad you had a baby boy. I wish I could be there to see you with your new son. I’m hoping to see you in the summer and meet your little boy, my little great grandson.
I hope you had a merry Christmas.
All our love,
Grams & Cy

Wow Julie. What a beautiful and precious bundle of man-child you’ve been blessed with! I look forward to ‘watching’ Nate grow and celebrating his life with all his other aunties. He’s just beautiful! Now I want to cry and remenisce about when my own girls were babies.

I’m sure the wee man is glad to finally meet mum and dad in person at last! He’s VERY cute as is the hairstyle. All the best – wishes for rest and recuperation. jx

Congratulations!! He’s just so beautiful. Well done!
Just love all that fabulous hair. Hope the soreness is easing – how is he feeding?
I really, really want my baby on the outside now – 2 weeks, 6 days and counting. How I can I be so broody whilst so pregnant? lol

He’s hero material, Julie! Congratulations to you and Dave. Have a wonderful new year with your new son!
[...] Well, the lovely lady who gave us such a giggle with the temp tattoo on her bump has had the most delicious baby. Huge congratulations to her and her hubby – and it’s made me even more aware of just how much I want this bump to hatch asap!! [...]
Congratulations,
He is gorgeous!
Enjoy him,
Get some rest
Good Job
Congratulations Julie! He is adorable!
Tell the truth. Did Dave spike his hair for that second photo????
Hugs and kisses for all of you,
D
He is gorgeous! Congrats!! Take good care of you, okay?
Oh, he is beautiful!!! So happy for you both and take care of yourself!
Aww Julie, Nate is absolutely adorable! And what gorgeous hair he has! With love and very best wishes to you all.
What a gorgeous baby! Enjoy your snuggle time.
He’s fantastic! And BIG! That must be what he was doing while he was waiting, growing. Big babies are easier on the Dad’s though, they don’t look as breakable. Don’t try to do too much too soon, and you’ll be back to yourself in no time…except for the foggy brain thing.
He’s such a gorgeous baby, guaranteed heartbreaker in a few years that one
Congratulations!!
