From the minute we learned Meghan Markle and Prince Harry had welcomed a healthy baby boy in the early hours of Monday, May 6th, we’ve all been anxiously awaiting our first glimpse at the new baby. 

And finally, the wait is over!

Harry and Meghan showed off the baby—whose name is Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor—at Windsor Castle this morning.

Harry cradled the couple’s son as Meghan looked on, beaming. She told press, “I have the two best guys in the world so I’m really happy!”

Awwwwwww!

The couple also posted a few sweet photos from the meet and greet on their @sussexroyal Instagram account.

 

Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, who lives and works in Los Angeles, was in Britain for the birth of her first grandchild, and will reportedly be on hand at the couple’s home for awhile as they adjust to life with baby.  

Here’s hoping they can all settle in, catch some rest, and enjoy these precious newborn moments with their adorable baby boy!

Harry claimed credit for the baby’s great temperament, adding: “We’re so thrilled to have our own little bundle of joy”. Today the baby is meeting his great-grandmother: Queen Elizabeth II.

A C-Section Mom Simply Needs You to Hear Her Story
In: Baby, Motherhood
Newborn baby crying in doctor's hands
by Whitney Britton

As an expecting mother, I was told all about the sleepless nights. People made sure to give their opinion on whether I should bottle feed, breastfeed, or exclusively pump. I was told which swaddle to buy, which sound machine worked best, and when to introduce a pacifier. They told me about sleep training but that it really didn’t matter because I wouldn’t get any sleep anyway. Whenever I would mention how scared I was to give birth, I’d always get the same response: oh. honey, don’t worry, your body will know what to do. I remember listening to calming meditations...

Feed Them—and Other Ways To Help NICU Parents

Parents holding hands of premature baby in NICU
by Alyssa Devall

I’ve been thinking quite a bit about our reality as NICU parents to a healthy, brilliant NICU graduate. Our child was born very prematurely and spent weeks in the NICU so he could grow and stabilize. My first experience as a mother of a baby was shattered in so many ways. Trauma still lingers, but I am so grateful for all I have learned from our time beside our little baby in his isolette bed. One thing I learned was that some people who really want to help support NICU parents really don’t know how they can. Here are some...

From Baby to Boy

The sweet snuggles and sighs are slowly making way for more crawling climbing and exploring each day. And just when I think my baby is gone, you snuggle into my chest, convincing me I’m wrong. I watch as you excitedly chase after your sis and giggle as you share with me your slobbery kiss.

Having Two Under Two Was the Best Decision I Ever Made
In: Baby, Motherhood, Toddler
Toddler and newborn lying next to each other on a bed
by Madison Boling

My baby was 14 months old when I found out I was pregnant with baby number two. He had just learned how to walk, still requiring me to walk behind him holding both of his hands above his head so he wouldn’t topple over. In other words, my baby was still very much a baby, and I couldn’t believe I’d be adding another baby to the mix. Excited, but mostly terrified, I researched and read more articles than I can count on what it’s like to be a parent of two under two. These articles more often than not use...

I Thought Failure to Thrive Meant I Was Failing
In: Baby, Motherhood

by Megan LaPorta

Failure. That’s all I read. It’s all I saw. It was the only thing I could focus on. I’m sure the doctor said it at some point during the appointment, but it wasn’t until it was right there staring at me in black and white that it clicked . . . “failure to thrive.” I was officially failing my daughter. A couple of years down the road, I now realize how irrational and far from the truth that was, but at the time, it was all I could focus on. I wish more than anything that they had a better,...

The anticipation of welcoming a new baby into the world is an exciting and joyous time for our family. From the moment we found out we were expecting to just about every day since, the love and excitement only continue to grow. However, amidst all the preparations for the new addition, I cannot help but have mixed emotions as I look back at old videos and pictures of my firstborn, my first princess, my Phoebe—for she will always hold a special place in my heart. As the anticipation grows, my heart swells with a mix of emotions knowing we are...

New Mama, It Might Not Be Okay Now but It Will Be

by Victoria Derksen

It was 2:30 in the morning, I was sitting on the bed with tears streaming down my face, my 7-week-old son crying in my arms. Everything hurt—my engorged breasts, my cracked and bleeding nipples, my back where I had taken two epidurals. It hurt to sit, not only from birth but from the stitches, and I was tired. “It’s okay,” my husband said, rubbing my back in small conciliatory circles, but it wasn’t okay. When they placed my son in my arms for the first time I cried tears of joy, made promises for the future, bolstered by the love I...

“Please Help Mommy to Be Patient, and the Baby to Stay Alive in Her Tummy.”
In: Baby, Loss, Motherhood
Toddler with hand on mother's pregnant belly
by Melinda Dueck

“Please help Mommy to be patient, and the baby to stay alive in her tummy.” It was my little girl’s daily prayer during my pregnancy. That prayer for patience—it stung a bit even though I had told her she could pray that I would be patient. It wasn’t necessarily that she or her sisters were testing my limits, but this pregnancy rage had gotten to be a real thing. If there is one thing motherhood has taught me, it’s that I can’t do it on my own. I need the help of my Heavenly Father, and I need others. I...

I Know I’m Done, but I’ll Always Want Another Baby

I was sorting clothes into tubs to donate, consign, or keep for my 1-year-old, and I came across a newborn outfit amongst a bunch of bigger kid clothes. I had gotten rid of all of my 1-year-old son’s newborn and infant things last year, but he still seems small and baby-like to me, compared to my 5-year-old. But I’m telling you, when I held up that teeny-tiny outfit, my heart broke. It looked too small to be real. To fit anything other than a doll. But, it did. My older son wore it on his first Christmas. I know I’m...

I Lost You Just as I Started Loving You

I didn’t know I was already losing you just as I was starting to love you. I didn’t know while I was so excited and hopeful for all the things to come, you were already leaving my body. And my heart. I didn’t know something like this could happen in what feels like both an instant and an eternity. That it would feel like it was just yesterday we saw those two pink lines and yet here we are, eight weeks later, without even an ultrasound picture to hold. I didn’t know how angry it would make me that life...
