I can't believe a week ago today we brought Mikey home from the hospital. It already feels like Mikey has always been a part of our family. I am grateful that he hardly ever cries and is such a calm, content, happy baby. He is so patient when it takes me 10 minutes to change his diaper or when I get his onesie stuck putting it over his head. I've never been the motherly type, making a fuss over babies and such. Whenever I babysat it was always such a relief when the parents came home. Often times when I helped out in Primary at church I'd come home weeping telling Aaron I just don't have enough patience to be a mom. But there's something about being a mom that changes a person. As soon as I held Mikey in my arms after he was born, I felt an indescribable love for him. I don't mind changing his diaper (except for the really poopy ones) 12 times a day or getting up at night to feed him. I love the sweet moments we share when rocking him to sleep or snuggling. Aaron and I are smitten with our little guy.
awwww, the pictures are absolutely adorable, Kim! You and Aaron look so happy to be parents. Children are the greatest blessing you will ever receive. Grandpa is very excited to meet his newest grandson and is counting the days til he can come visit!
ReplyDeleteGreat picture of Aaron and the baby. Kim you look amazing--can't believe you had a baby a week ago.
ReplyDeleteKim, I was the same way with kids before I had mine. Working in nursery prekids, it made me never ever want to have children. I had zero patience, they smelled funny, dripping stuff everywhere, etc. But the minute I held my babies, it didn't matter. I became a mother bear and loved them because they were MINE. I so understand what you are saying. He's a beautiful little boy, you and Aaron did a great job!
ReplyDeleteHe's such an adorable little boy, Kim! I'm glad the parenting is coming naturally. It's such a special time, but it's sometimes hard to see that when you're in the middle of it. Congratulations to you both!
