6 Days And Look How Good We Are Doin!

We have a Doctor's appointment in 2 hours. 

I am fully ready to go with 2 hours to spare.

Ya think I'm a little excited to get out of the house?

Don't get me wrong.. I feel like a brick hit me, and the shakiness is still there so it took a lot longer than normal...

But baby steps.. Doctor's office and then home...

I think that's all the outing I can handle.

I actually put make-up on though, so please do a little cheer for that one..

And I am actually starting to realize that Ross is ok if I don't hold him at all moments..

Most likely another phase I will get over..

But I just am so obsessed with this little man of mine.

In fact, I am super emotional about it too.. 

I am sure that's another phase that will pass as well. 

But yesterday, I would look at him and just cry.

I know, that sounds super pathetic and I swear it wasn't every single time I looked at him..

But I am just in complete awe that he is ours.

Women have gotten up in sacrament over the years, or taught lessons in Relief Society, making mention to the fact that they became much more emotional after having children.

I honestly didn't think I would be one of those women.

But last night, Rob and I were reading a talk by Elder Bednar.

Fantastic talk.

When it came my turn to read, everything that I was reading was hitting me so much deeper than it ever used to.

Here I was, holding our baby, reading about the Savior, and I was an emotional mess.

Everything has such a deeper meaning when I hold my child.

It's like everything in the gospel all the sudden hit so close to home that I could barely read clearly.

I cannot believe he is ours. 

I cannot believe how lucky we got.

I honestly cannot believe how this little being is making life make sense.

He is putting all the puzzle pieces together and making this world, and our purpose here, make so much more sense.

How in the world did we get so lucky?

There are a lot of things in life that aren't planned, and I'll be honest, this pregnancy was one of them.

I was just so scared, thought of everything that could possibly go wrong, everything that we weren't ready for..

I tend to over think things so you can imagine the train of thought my mind seemed to take sometimes.

The further along the pregnancy got the more I wanted him, couldn't think of life without him, and surely kept trying to calm all my fears.

But every single fear has been wiped away with that precious face of his. 

Everything is coming so natural, and everything in life before him just doesn't make sense anymore.

All my reasonings for why I wasn't ready...

All the reasons for why there could be a better time in life...

I cannot even justify them anymore.

Those reasons don't make sense anymore.

That face..

I cannot live without his precious face.

And now that I think about it.. There could not be a more perfect time for him to be here.

Life with him makes perfect sense.

Literally all our plans, and all our wants for ourselves.. 

They do not make sense anymore without our baby.

And its only been 6 days.. 

I know we can both agree that this baby is the best thing that has ever happened to us..

Besides each other of course.

And its so incredible how much you learn about them in such a short time..

These past 6 days have been so exciting.

Ross loves his tunes.

This is the miracle swing, and the min. those tunes shut off you have a fussy baby.

Maybe we have a music man on our hands?

Mommy would love that.

He also loves his Daddy. 

I know some people might think I am crazy, but this little guy knows his Daddy's voice or whenever that man comes into the room.

He loves cuddling with him.

It honestly calms him down.

And I know Daddy doesn't mind one bit.

He hates bath time!

I gave him a full bath last night, washing him and his hair...

You would think I was the killer of all things beautiful.

This picture was taken once I had wrapped him up.. 

I don't think I will ever like his scowls!

And don't worry - We are teaching him at an early age to love Jesus.

I guess this was his morning prayer..

It even looks like he is talking a bit!

Jesus will be so proud.

6 days and look how good we are doin!
