Hello, I found this site via Mightygirl. I usually don't comment at many sites, but this time I thought to make an exception. Your baby truly is beautiful, and I don't find many babies beautiful, or even cute. So that says a lot.

You must be very proud.

Good luck with the new addition!

Oh, he is so very precious! I hope the three of you enjoy all of the wonderful moments that life brings your family. congrats :)

He's so lovely...hope you are enjoying these precious first weeks.

He really is spectacular. I thought my baby was the most beautiful but now I think Ben is. It's nice to know that I can still be objective :) I'm so happy for you both. You will be great parents.

He is so beautiful and amazing. He is making me really excited to have my own little one next week. I hope I will be as strong as you Andrea when I give birth. Take care!

That baby is so beautiful he's making all the other babies look bad. Tone it down, Ben, please.

Congratulations!

He is GORGEOUS. But then again, no one expected any less.

Now - we see perfection.
Love,
Georgy

I almost never comment but I have been reading your blog since it came into existence, and I have to say I couldn't be happier for you. I am wearing my superhero necklace and constantly returning to your homepage to sneak glances at the new man in your life. He is absolutely perfect. I feel like we have all been waiting to see him not only for nine months, but for much longer as we all read of your fertility struggles....and I just have to say that he is soooo worth the wait. He's absolutely darling, and I can't help being overwhelmed with joy for you and Matt. Congratulations!

I just sent a litttle surprise to your po box- just wanted to make sure with all the busyness surely taking place over there that you knew! Ben is simply scrumptious, a breathtakingly beautiful baby. Someday he will read your blog posts, years from now!, and know how profoundly deeply he was wanted. What a joyous life he has ahead! And looking forward to reading of your experiences thus far. A group of colleagues and I all stay tuned!

Ben is one of the most stunningly beautiful babies I have ever seen. Seriously. I don't even know you and I'm moved to tears by the sight of his blissful face.

he is so amazingly beautiful.

peaceful little angel.

you guys are so blessed. please don't stop with the Ben pics! :)

welcome, ben!! mazel tov to your parents!

Huge and happy congratulations Matt and Andrea. Welcome to Ben - he is beautiful!

Hope you have lots of fun getting to know him.

it's the hands, isn't it? the way that float up there, in the air, by their heads? the fingers poised in exquisite gesture? i took countless pictures of my son's hands those first weeks and months. so precious.

Oh my gosh......he is soooooooo adorable and I truly, truly mean that! He looks perfect in every way. I am so happy for all of you and wish you nothing but health and happiness always! You know....he even fits his name perfectly. He totally looks like a Ben.....love it, love love it. Congratulations to all of you........you sure do deserve it!

He's just AMAZING! So tiny and perfect.

looks like he enjoys sleeping!
people kept telling me to sleep when the baby sleeps, but the first few weeks i would stay up and just stare. are you doing it too? :)
ben is gorgeous.

hugs to you,
cindy.

I guess you probably knew this already, but really and truly... that is one ADORABLE baby you have there.

Gosh, it's obvious from the photo that this baby has become much wiser after just one week!

Gorgeous! Congratulations.

beautiful peaceful soul

what a beautiful, peaceful soul....
congrats!

gorgeous baby boy! xoxo...sue selle

This is a gorgeous baby. Congratulations!

Another gorgeous pic! Soooo cute!!! Andrea, the best advice I can give you right now is to take naps while Ben is napping. You have probably heard that over and over but it's so true. I didn't because I tried to be Supermom and I can't tell you how exhausted I ended up feeling...I regret not doing that. Take care of yourself and of that beautiful baby boy. :) xo

He is amazingly beautiful and so precious..

Oh, wow. He is amazingly beautiful.

Perfect angel.

I adore that beautiful head of hair!

Ben is perfectly beautiful. He is already so "there" don't you think? Obvi an Oooooooold soul who chose THE best parents possibly ever on earth.

What a Christmas!

He's just beautiful.

Congratulations on your adorable baby boy! :) I haven't read your blog in about a month, but was thinking you'd be close to bringing him home soon. So, how nice to see him!

How wonderful to have followed you through this journey. Best wishes to you, Matt & little Ben. :)

Just adorable!

Congrats to your little family. And everything is as it should be. Sigh. Just makes me so happy.

My gosh, he is just a gorgeous child. Wow. Congrats again!!

Congratulations on your perfect beautiful baby boy!

Good Lord that child is beautiful. I look forward to all the amazing photographs you'll share with us.

Congratulations, Mom.

Adorable, I love all the hair and tiny hands.

I love the photograph of Ben, especially that it was posted at 4:37 AM. I remember the days of my time being marked by my baby's needs and not the clock. Relish the immersion; take care of each other.

Oh, so tiny and sweet! I love his dark hair, too... rest well, Andrea.

gosh, he's tooo adorable!! oh my...

Lookin' good, lookin' good!!!!

Absolutely an Angel sent from heaven...

BBBB= breathtakingly beautiful baby ben!

The little guy looks fabulous in dark colors. :-)

I think I see a little angel dust hovering - he's just amazing.

Even though it was almost 8 years ago, I still remember that first month with my son and how I kept looking at him in such amazement that he came out of me and was my baby.

So sweet!!

Precious, precious, precious.
What an incredible gift.

Aww! What an angel, so perfect and adorable! I can not wait to see more pics of Ben, the little "Superhero"..:)

Treasure every golden moment with your sweet Prince.
Love Jeanne

Congratulations.
He is a most handsome lad!

I want to press my face against that angel and breath in the baby smell! He is so beautiful.

My four year-old, Gigi, just said, "awwwww! Isn't that a cute baby?" Indeed.

oh he's beautiful! what a fabulous Christmas gift :)

Dear, blessed soul. You are a treasure to the world. Welcome, little one. May you shine as brightly as your mommy.

My heart leaps to see him.

He's perfect.

Oh he is beautful. He looks so peaceful! What I have been looking forward to, besides the moment you made it through your pregnancy and delivery a healthy mama with a healthy baby, are the photographs.
