Valentine's Day

On Valentine's Day we decided to dress Nathaniel up in his Valentine's outfit that my mom got him and prop him next to his teddy bear that my mom-n-love got him. I think they turned out cute!

I believe he weighs some where in between 8-10 lbs. I tried weighing him on our scale but it wasn't very accurate. I guess I'll have to wait until his next trip to the doctor which isn't until next month.

Now I haven't posted on my blog page in 2 weeks! You ask why? Well, the work of a mommy is never done! Especially when you have a newborn. This transition has been a little difficult for me. One, because I had a little bit of the baby blues- crying for no reason. Friends tell me this is normal as my hormones are re stabilizing. I didn't realize how out of control my emotions would be. Two, I am adjusting to being at home alone. I'm used to being around tons of women who talk all the time- teachers. I was never alone at work.

What I love is being with Nathaniel and hearing him coo, feeding him and just snuggling up to his tiny body. I love holding him on my chest and my hand hold up his little bottom. I love looking at his blue eyes, his long tiny fingers and toes. I love waking him up from his naps and seeing him stretch out and open his mouth as wide as possible yawning. I love hearing his grunting noises when he is trying to eat or dirty his diaper. I love how God gave Lesh and I this perfect gift from heaven. It is awesome to know that God has a wonderful plan for his life. Lesh and I can't wait to see how God will use Nathaniel in other peoples lives. He has changed ours already in only 3 weeks. Thank you God for Nathaniel!
