He is darling!!! Congratulations on your wonderful little miracle. I can’t wait to see pictures of Annie meeting her little brother. You have a beautiful family.
Aw, congratulations – I am so happy for you guys, and welcome to the world little James. Hopefully you’ll be big enough for your first SC tailgate in the fall!
Congratulations! Love the name! Can’t wait to hear all the wonderful stories of his exploration of the world. Looking forward to the first picture of Annie holding him!
Congratulations!! I remember when Annabel was born and you posted here comes the sun and it brought tears to my eyes as I listened to it. I am so very happy for you both. You all deserve a lifetime of happiness.
I’m so happy for you, Mike and Annie….and your whole family. Continued prayers for you as you recover from your c-section. And sending you nothing but love….
Congratulations on your beautiful little baby! You’ve waited so long for your tiny boy and it’s a sweet photograph of you holding him in your arms at last.
James Asher Spohr. What a beautiful name for your son. Happy Birthing Day Heather. I’m glad you FINALLY was, after a couple set backs, able to birth him. Congratulations to your family!
aww congrats!!!! i’ve been checking back on your twitter account and this blog every few minutes of today!!!! soooo super duper happy for u all! can’t wait to see pix / video of annie meeting him!
So happy for all of you! Heather and Mike, both of you in the picture look way too good to have been waiting anxiously all day (and all week) for this — what a great shot! I think love and happiness really do show on the face!
Many Blessings & Much Health and Happiness to your whole family! Beautiful name, sweet Baby James..waiting to see Annie’s adoring face meeting him! Congrats!!
This site has been swamped today, was unable to actually see the picture a bit bigger because I am sure others were also checking. But finally I can see the baby in all his glory. I hope that you are feeling well and food will be in order.
Congratulations! He is sweet and that is a wonderful picture and well worth the wait to see it. Never have I followed a pregnancy so closely as this one and the prayers sent your way were heartfelt. Blessings on all your children and you and Mike. I bet it feels just great now that he is safely here.
Congrats!!! Welcome to the world sweet boy! How is your hair perfect after having a baby?!?!?! Hope you are having a wonderful time enjoying him, and I hope you can now actually enjoy eating a meal and have it stay where it’s supposed to!
I’ve read your blog for years but never commented. I have been refreshing ALL DAY waiting for news! Congrats and breathe in that baby ambrosia deeply. xoxo
Congratulations on your sweet baby James! Wishing you nothing but the best as you soak him in and watch Annie experience her baby brother!! Sending prayers for a speedy c-section recovery, good health for mom and baby and, of course, nothing but more love in the days, weeks and months ahead!
Many, many, many congratulations! So happy and relieved for you all. Phew! Now we can leave the virtual waiting room knowing that baby has arrived and all is well. Life is good
I did a load of laundry today and called that success. You gave birth. I feel like a lazy ass now. So happy for you and your family. I hope all of your sickness is over now and you can enjoy every second with your precious children. If you need to unload all of your maternity clothes, let me know. I’m having a bonus baby in December and need to start all over….lol.
I was looking for a picture on instagram :). Congrats on your sweet little boy and congrats on a successful surgery. Wishing you all the love and happiness this man can bring to your family
Congratulations!!! And a special almost makes me tear up happiness for you Heather, that your HG is gone (well, I assume it went away as quickly for you as it does for most of us). I’m so elated for your family. Welcome baby James!
Congratulations! I left my phone at home by mistake today and have been suffering all day from not being able to check for this amazing news. Welcome James. You have the best family in the world!
Congratulations Heather and Mike! From your picture, I can see the last 9+ months have been worth it! I hope you can relax a bit and savour every moment. You deserve great joy and happiness!!!
Amazing! So so happy for you guys. And Heather, you are a rock star. As much as you shared about your pregnancy, I’m sure it was 10x harder than we could ever imagine.
