Hi! I'm Lindsay Ferrier. You might remember me from a blog called Suburban Turmoil. Well, a lot has changed since I started that blog in 2005. My kids grew up, I got a divorce, and I finally left the suburbs for the heart of Nashville, where I feel like I truly belong. I have no idea what the future will hold and you know what? I'm okay with that. Thrilled, actually. It was time for something totally different.

>Hi guys. MommaK here. I just returned home and got a message from Lindsay in the hospital. She called to let us know that she gave birth to a bouncing baby boy yesterday at 3:48 pm! He was 10 lbs and a quarter ounce & 22 inches long. She has rightly crowned him “Bruiser”.
Mother and baby are both healthy and happy and will return home tomorrow. I am sure she will fill you all in on the details later but she asked that I put up this announcement as she is without internet access at the hospital (how rude!).
Congrats Lindsay!!

>Hey Lindsay, congratulations on your new son. I’m amazed she’ll be home after just two days in hospital – at 10lbs I’d be insisting on lying down for a looooong time!
>What a bigun. I’m so excited for you over there. My son came into this world at 7 lbs. 15 oz. but didn’t gain much weight those first 6 months and only weighed 12.5 lbs, but he was very tall. So when I heard that your little guy was over 10 pounds, I have to say I was impressed. You go girl! And welcome to the little (uh, i mean BIG) bruiser.
>I thought of something….as SOON as you get rested up…Haul that boy around to EVERYONE who called you HUGE and ask “Who’s HUGE now, bitches?!?!?”LOL, PLEEEAASSEEE do it!!

>Congratulations Lyndsey!And may I say…. OW.
>Oh. My. GOD! 10 pounds?Congrats. Rest well. Make that man of yours slave over you for a while. Listen, have you figured out how to type and nurse at the same time?
>Since I have intimate knowledge of what it’s like to give birth to a 9 pounder, I give you major props for pushing out that extra pound. I swear to god…it’s all in the head. Or it seemed that way. Good on you! Glad everyone’s healthy.
