Ledger was born on August 26th 2008 at 8:40 p.m. he weighed 7 lbs 4 oz and was 18.5 inches long! As you can tell he has dark eyes and lots of dark hair! This is just a picture I took of him when he was a few days old. My sister Whitney took all the pictures on her camera at the hospital so I still need to get them from her. We also took some pictures of him yesterday at Sarah Wards house so as soon as I get them I will put them on. (I know none of you believe me but I actually have something to blog about now) My labor and delivery was fabulous and I loved all of my nurses! Not only where we blessed with the most beautiful baby boy but my husband received a job the next day that we have been hoping that he would get for a while now. Blessings do come in big doses! I would like to thank all my family for all the help that they have given us and for their love and support.
Ledger is such a good baby and we are so blessed to have him in our lives! He is a pretty good sleeper other than when he needs to go to the bathroom and the formula I have to give him slows him down. I am having trouble with having enough milk so I am taking and herb called fenugreek that so far is helping but hopefully I can produce more soon! If any one has any other tricks let me know! Babies are such miracles and I can not imagine not having him around. He makes me smile even when he keeps me up for two hours in the middle of the night I love him so very much! Please keep checking my blog it will get better I mean look how cute he is why wouldn't I want to brag about him!

He is very cute! Congratulations!
Aw, how cute. Congratulations, and I'm glad everything went well. No c-section, right? I hope not (since that is what you DIDN'T want).
Congrats!
Joni he is adorable! Congratulations and good luck with everything!!
Congratulations!! He's a cutie!!
He is so cute! I had problems with not having enough milk too. Most people seem to get their milk a few days after the baby is born. I get a little then, but it took like a week and a half to finally get enough for Kate. Maybe it is in our genes! Good luck with everything.
Oh I am so freaking excited for you, Joni. I am so glad you love being a mom. I'm sure you already know this, but it is the MOST incredible, fulfilling thing in this whole world! Love you so much.
Joni your a MOMMA!
Congratulations...he is one handsome lil' guy! You are going to love all the fun things babies do and you won't believe how much you LOVE him...or how in the world you lived before without him!
You are gonna be the BEST momma!
Congratz again!
Joni!! He is GORGEOUS!! Oh, how I have been thinking about you...I was hoping you would post about your new little guy! He is a doll, I can't wait to (gently) squeeze him! As for the milk coming in, you just sort of have to let nature take it's course - I never made very much with Cache, I always had to supplement with formula because he was a big baby. I know everything will go smoothly for you! Call me if you need anything, ok? Congrats, babe!
CONGRATS!!!! He is so stinkin cute!! I am glad to hear that your labor and delivery went well, sometimes the first one is pretty rough!! Good job, he is sure adorable!! Good luck with the nursing thing!!
Joni Congrats!! I have been wondering if you had delivered yet, so I am SO glad to hear all is well, he is gorgeous!! I love the name Ledger too! I am so excited for you. There is nothing like seeing your child for the first time, it is so amazing!! Good luck with the next few weeks because they always seem to be rough as well, so hang in there!!
Joni! He is so freaking cute! Congrats!
YAY!! He is adorable! And congrats to Mike on the new job! How exciting! Can't wait to hear more about everything!
i'm glad everything went well for you, that always makes it a better experience. He is very cute with those dark eyes and hair. Congrats and enjoy being a new mama!
My nurse told me if i ate a bowl of oatmeal every day for two weeks, that would help. Funny thing is, it really did seem to help it.
Hi Joni!
I cannot believe what an adorable little boy you have... actually I can. Look at his parents! I cannot tell you how excited I am for you! You deserve all the happiness life has brought you in the last couple of years. I love you so much and I am so happy to see that you are so fullfilled. I will be there soon to snuggle this little guy. The sickies are leaving the McGarry house... we don't want to share, especially to little Ledger. I hope all is doing well for you. As for the milk, it can be exhausting. I almost lost my milk with Morgan but I would feed her and then pump for 20 minutes afterwards and I also took an herbal supplement. It came back but it was laborious. Enjoy every minute. I know that you are. He is adorable. I am so glad everyone is healthy and well. Love yoU!!!
SERIOUSLY HE IS GORGEOUS! What a precious little guy. Yeah, we need to actually talk. How are you? Ledger...I told you, whatever you wanted right ;) I have to come see this little guy. I will!!! I am so glad you are doing good, I hope the milk kicks in, I think after like 7 days or something you should get your milk, oh wait, 3, see I already forget. Hopefully it will come in good! Love you, and call me when your not asleep :)
congrats Joni! I am happy to hear all went well with the labor and delivery. He is beautiful!!
what a handsome boy! Congrats you two. Love the name.
Joni,
Congratualtions!! He is so cute. What a sweetie! I hope all is well. Good luck with the milk thing. I seemed to get more and more as time went on.
Congratulations on your baby boy! He is darling! Let me tell ya, you are in for the greatest adventure of your life! I've only been a Mom for 6 months now, but I absolutely love love love it! My milk didn't fully come in for 5 days, just be patient, persistent, and make sure he eats for at least 15 minutes at a time. That helped me anyway. I missed you at the Drill Team Reunion :( So good to see pictures of your family, and yah, the memories on the Davis Ranch.

Oh my gosh, he is so cute. I am so excited for you. Have fun. I love the new born stage and every one after that. Hey you may want to try green tea, or herbal tea it is a Hawiian trick for milk. Congratulations.
Dang he is cute! I'm glad everything went well! I obviously don't know anything about breastfeeding first-hand yet, but McLane and I attended a breastfeeding class last night (which was so awesome and informative), and a lot of girls had the same concern. The nurse claimed that "frequent, frequent, frequent" feedings and pumpings in clusters helped with this. She said it was a lot of work, but worth it. She also claimed massaging helped stimulate production. Again, I don't know so I should just keep my mouth shut, but if it works, let me know ;-) She gave us two websites that she claims were really helpful for breastfeeding, too: breastfeedingonline.com and kellymom.com - Good luck!
YEA!!! Congratulations!! Nothing in life is better than being a mommy!!!! He is so cute!! I am so glad everything went well. And the job too!!
He is so dang cute! I love his name. Congrats! For the milk I would try the tea for nursing moms.
He is beautiful, congratulations!
