3 weeks into parenting...

and loving every minute! Today is a big day though. It is our first day without help! I just took my mom to the airport and was secretly praying that her flight would be cancelled or that she accidentally booked her ticket wrong and they wouldn't let her get on the plane. But, she boarded and should be halfway home by now. Sad.

I don't know what I would have done without her help and the help of my most favorite mother-in-law. Kiki and Essee...THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! Thank you for allowing me the freedom to enjoy my first few weeks of motherhood without worrying about the dishes, laundry, meals, errands, etc. And thank you for doing the middle of the night feedings (even after flying across the globe for 24 hours and being exhausted yourself) so that I could get some sleep. And thank you for dealing with me as I learn the art of nursing - even through the most awkward of moments. We are forever and uniquely bonded because of that! And thank you for braving the cold in our house when our heater broke. And thank you for going to 3 different stores trying to find salt before the big snow storm. And most importantly, thank you for loving my son. There is no love like that of family, and I am forever grateful for the support and care you gave Josh, Whit and me during these past few weeks. Words will never do our gratitude justice.

So...now it is just the three of us. Prayers would be appreciated! Loving parenthood and adoring my precious son!

Whit is waking up from his nap now, so I will need to learn how to write faster!!
