The beauty of a child

Every day we find ourselves more and more enamored with the things that our little 3 week old son will do. I love the way he just makes baby sounds when he is happy and content with the world. There are facial expressions that he makes when he is trying to gunt something out of his body. I love him just staring deep into either my eyes or Jason's eyes when he is getting fed. Our son means the world to us and we are so truly blessed. Jason loves spending time with Elijah. Once Jason gets home and gets settled, he spends a lot of the evening taking care of Elijah or just simply playing with him. It gives me a chance to be able to do some things around the house I want to get done. We love this time right now because he is so small, but can't wait to see what the future holds. Right now his weight is increasing on a regular basis and the last time we went to the doctor, he was weighing in at 6 pounds and 14 ounces and was 19" long. YEAH for the growth spurt.

Life is really good right now. I do not want to go back to work in four weeks, but in order to maintain the lifestyle we have right now, duty calls. Sometimes I do miss being able to have conversations with adults that do not include the word, poop, binky, pacifier, or gas. I miss all my friends at work and next week when we go for a visit, it will be good to see everyone.

I am so loving the weather right now. The weather has been great. I am ready for the cooler/rainy weather to be completely gone and some warmth falling on our faces whenever we go outside.
My surgery scars are starting to heal a little better. Hopefully by the time I go back to work, they will be completely healed. I do not want, but will if I have to, have to leave early once a week to have them checked just coming back from 10 weeks of maternity leave.
Jason and I praise God daily for the beauty that our life has been since we met. I try to imagine/remember what my life was like before I met Jason and it all seems such a blur. I love my husband more each day and I am truly grateful for the life we have. Jason is such a great husband and I can't imagine my life without him. I pray that we have just as much fun in five years that we are having now.
