Let me just start off by saying that God has blessed me more than I could have ever imagined.  He has given me the greatest gift.  All of my childhood dreams have come true.  I have the most wonderful and supportive husband.  I feel like God hand picked Steve for me.  We just work.  When we got married I thought that life just couldn’t get any better.  Until now!

On November 26th God gave us the most precious baby boy.  Andrew is everything we could have hoped for and more.  So many people have told me you can’t imagine the love you will feel for your child.  It’s so true!  From the moment I laid eyes on little Drew, I felt like my whole world changed.  I felt an instant love that is unexplainable.  This little guy  doesn’t do much more than eat, sleep and poop and yet he is the most intriguing and beautiful thing I’ve ever seen or experienced.   

For the first time I feel like I can truly appreciate all the love my mom has for me.  It really makes me feel bad for my teenage years.  Sorry mom!  Speaking of my mom, she has been such an amazing support.  From being my nurse in the hospital to answering the phone in the middle of the night when I’m having a breakdown, she’s been amazing.  It is so nice to have someone tell you that you’re a good mom when you need to hear it.  I love you mom!

So much has happened in the past seven weeks.  I feel like Andrew is growing up way too fast.  He’s already grown out of his newborn clothes and the 0-3 month ones are getting a little snug.  What a little chub!  He definitely takes after his mom and dad.  The boy loves to eat!  He has just started smiling, I mean really smiling.  There is nothing better than seeing that gummy smile when he looks up at you.  It makes all the sleepless nights and fussy spells worth it.  I have yet to capture a big smile on film but today I caught the tail end of one on my phone.

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers.  It is so nice to know how much love surrounds our little boy.
