Our New Life...

I simply refuse to believe that it has been two weeks since I last posted.

TWO WEEKS.

Because, that would mean that little Dude would be an ENTIRE WEEK OLD today.

And that?   Is simply not possible.

And so... the starting of life... in pictures:


The clock in the operating room, marking the exact time.... (4:29pm)
















First night with Mama...















A visit from the siblings....














Gosh, there are a lot of them!!


















Little Love is needing some extra attention as she rapidly assumes her role as a "big" sister....
:)














And, clearly, someone needs to do some explaining to Ben the Cat.














A longer, more eloquent post to come on how wondrous are the ways of God and how lucky we are to be a part of this communion of saints here on earth.

For now, please know that I am so very grateful for the outpouring of prayers and good wishes. I could feel the many graces carry me through each moment of the surgery and subsequent recovery. Prayer is so powerful!

Much love and prayers of thanksgiving to all~

:)

Enjoy your babymoon and NO GUILT over not blogging! This beautiful little man is to be the focus...along with the changing dynamics & needs of your family.

It makes a difference when he's outside the womb, doesn't it? :) He (and you) look great!

I bet you have a lot of little helpers and YOU LOOK AMAZING just after having a baby. Hope you are getting your strength back, healing well, and getting just a little bit of rest.

Enjoy all the moments ...
