You guys, Gavin is so wonderful! Honestly, having a baby has been such a blessing. I know you all told me that all the aches and pains would be worth it, but I've gotta tell ya...it's so much more enjoyable than I thought it was going to be. I was so worried about so many things like not bonding, going crazy, having cabin fever, etc... I was completely wrong in my preconceived notions of having a child! I can't even believe how wrong I was! I have just held him and cried because I am so happy to have him in my/our life! I just stare at him. There are days when I just don't want to let him go, although I will only because I realize the necessity of paying bills, eating, and showering on a regular basis. Who would have thought I would change a diaper with a smile? I mean, I have to give the Lord all the glory for this because those of you that know me well know that I've never really been a "kid person." So, to have the response I've had has really been a gift from the Lord! We sing and dance, read stories, go for walks. All kinds of fun stuff! What a blast! Gavin is so gracious with his inexperienced mama!
Matt has been so wonderful too! He's already won the award for "Dad of the Year" in our house. He's not afraid to calm him down when he's fussing, give him a bottle, change his diapers, give him a bath. The list goes on. Matt's all about it! He is so good with Gavin and is having a ball! It's really a joy to watch them interact. Matt took Gavin to Home Depot and the Car Wash the other day. They were out doing "guy stuff." So cute! I look forward to watching their relationship continue to grow!
Well, I'm sure you're enjoying the update, but would much rather see pictures. So, here you go! Enjoy! Visit or call if you get a chance. We'd love to see you and show off our baby boy! We love you!
Thanks to those of you who have called to check on us, brought us meals, and showered us with your love! It has been so appreciated!
