Welcome, Noah

Noah Matthew Dougherty was born at 11:14 pm on Tuesday, July 28th, 2009. He is the first blessing of Justin & Susan Dougherty (unless you count Fuzz!) and from the pictures I've seen, he is absolutely precious.

I'd like to take this time to welcome Sue into the world of Mommyhood. Enjoy those blearly-eyed newborn days--they go by so fast! I offer you only one piece of advice, Suse: This is YOUR baby with whom you can do whatever you want--hold him, kiss him, and love on him until you are both blue in the face! Don't share him unless you want to and please, don't hesitate to ask for help! Remember this:

Cleaning and scrubing can wait for tomorrow,
For babies grow up, we've learned to our sorrow.
So quite down cobwebs and dust go to sleep,
I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep!
