Two thousand twelve was a very hard year. Miscarrying was difficult, but losing Jackie was so painful that I shut my heart off to anything new. When I became pregnant in September, I couldn’t bond. I was too afraid I would lose someone else. I just kept hoping that once he was here, the love would flow.
More love, I can hear our hearts cryin’
More love, I know that’s all we need
More love to flow in between us
To take us and hold us and lift us above
If there’s ever an answer, it’s more love
~Nicholson & O’Brien
We are thrilled to announce the birth of our son.

Yes, he will bring you joy. And gray hair. And lots of small cars you will say bad words over when you step on them. Now to pass on the tears: go download Ben Harper’s “Beautiful Boy”. It’s my theme song for my boy.
Much love to all of you! As I said before, enjoy all the sweet and bittersweet. Maddie and Jackie and your Aunt are around you, in you, part of this moment.

Love the name. I have a son and grandson James. Jimmy, Jim, James, they grow with them. Jimmy became Jim to me when his son was born Jimmy. But his friends still call him Jimmy. In kindergarten he had a trifold name plate and each day he’d change it to a different one. The teacher thought it was so cute. Congrats to you and your family and little Jimmy, Jim, James, welcome to the world.

Dear Spohr family,
As hard as it has been for me to see pregnant women and newborns lately (my daughter was stillborn 3.5 weeks ago at 37 weeks gestation), I am so over the moon excited for your family. Congratulations on baby James’ arrival. Although I don’t comment much I’ve been a reader since 2009 and I feel as though the happiness of your family is as important to me as my own family members. Unfortunately I know I'm not emotionally strong enough to keep up with your blog right now, but I can't wait until I feel ready, so I can keep up with the adventures of the amazing Annabel and her new sidekick James.
Sending so much love to you all!
Robyn
