There is something magical about having a baby. Your baby. The way you know just how they like to be held. The way their eyes light up when you walk into a room. The way you can understand every noise they make. The way your heart feels like it just may burst out of you when you watch them sleep at night. I just can’t seem to get enough of him.  “There is something about a boy that just gets you,” moms of boys tried to tell me.  Possible, but not likely, I thought.  I won’t know what to do with a boy, I know how to love baby girls.  Boy, was I wrong.  When they laid him on my chest for the first time, I was completely overcome. I knew that he was mine, and I was his.  I am so excited to get to know him, what gifts he brought here with him, what motivates him, what makes him unique, and why God sent him to me. So blessed to be his mommy.

So now we are home and adjusting to life as a family of 6. His big sisters cannot get enough of him and daddy is pretty darn happy to have another boy in this house. I am just so very grateful to have my sweet little baby boy home, safe and sound. He is the best and life is good.
