End your week with these happy and heartwarming stories and videos

March went out like the lion it tends to be, but despite the grim news headlines, there were some reasons to smile and laugh this week. In case you missed them, here is a sampling:

Two Broadway stars welcomed a baby boy to their stage!

“Hamilton” star Leslie Odom Jr. and “Waitress” star Nicolette Robinson announced that a son, Able “Abe” Phineas, has officially joined them and big sister Lucy, 3. “Our little family bursts at the seams with joy!” the proud dad wrote on Instagram. “And gratitude.”https://instagram.com/p/CNINVhKLhb0/embed/captioned

“Watching Nicolette give birth to these kids… ? Simply, the bravest (act) I’ve ever witnessed from a foot away. I love you, sweetheart and I am in awe,” wrote Odom, who was also nominated for an Oscar this year.

Welcome to the world, baby Abe! We’re sure you’ll blow us all away someday.

… and this couple received some special baby news of their own

We have to imagine telling couples struggling with infertility they are finally pregnant never gets old for Dr. Lawrence B. Werlin, founder and medical director of Coastal Fertility Medical Center in Irvine, California.

Coastal Fertility gave us a glimpse into what it is like to be the one to deliver such life-changing news on its TikTok account.@coastalfertility

We celebrate your success. 

“Where’s your girl?” Dr. Werlin asks. “Get her on the line, buddy.” When the staff yells the results and the new-mom-to-be bursts into tears, it’s hard not to join her.

Congratulations, everyone!

These sweet photos captured the reunion we all hope to have

After a long year in which we have all missed our loved ones so much, these photos capturing the moment when fully vaccinated Mark Uomoto was able to finally see his 98-year-old mom, Yoshia, are touching and emotional.
