What a beautiful baby, Ben and Ariel!!! I am so thrilled for your new family of three. He is SO HANDSOME. I can really see his daddy in the 2nd picture. And he looks so peaceful in the 4th picture. We wish we could be there to hold him and kiss him. We love you all and hope you are enjoying these beautiful moments together in his first hours.

Way to go, you two (mostly Ariel, though, let's be real here)! I agree with everyone else...he's beautiful, and you guys look great--especially considering you just went through 11 hours of labor! Hope these first few weeks have been easy on you. And remember, you're coming up on that window to introduce the bottle--just one a week--so he doesn't stubborn about having mom there 24/7 for the next year!

Blessings on your new family. So happy for you guys! And I love the name Henry!
