Wow how things are all different now.
I have never known a love like this before. Chris and I just sit and watch Carter all day long. Just his little hands make me cry. The thought of leaving him for a moment is upsetting. I know I am on a hormonal shift right now too, but I am more in love with this little person than anything else I have every known possible. Chris and I were talking about that, and it is so much more clear how God loves us, his Children.
I am blessed with a baby who doesn't fuss much at all. He is so content all the time. He just loves to be held and touched.....I wonder who he get's that from? He doesn't cry to eat, he just smackes his lips together, as if he's trying to chew.
On Christmas day we had Cook's Childrens Hospital come to our house to bring him light theropy. His biliruben levels were very high, meaning he was very johndas. (sp) He was yellow. At the hospital he was a 6, and when we got home he moved up to an 18.7. (at 21, you must go to the hospital) His doctor wasn't worried, she said just use the light therepy for a day at a time, and we'll retest him daily. (which involved priking his heal for blood.) The nurses came to visit everyday. He was on the lights for 28 hours only, and his levels just fell down quickly. That was a huge praise. Being our first child, I know this is something that's very common, but you hate to have it happen to your child. Right now he is just a peacful, full, sleeping, healthy baby.
I can't tell you what it's like being a mom, it's just something you feel.
When I was pregnant I thought oh, how I love this little one inside me...but now it's so much more than that.

Aww, so sweet, you've had an eventful first week as a mom...he's getting so big already! Can't wait to see him, see you in a little bit!
I know exactly how you feel. It is a miracle and a blessing to be a parent and to be a MOM-there isn't anything like it. Love, Granda Knapp
So true...There is no way to explain the love you feel for your children until you have your own. It is incredible.
My nephew had to have that same light for johndas. It can be scary, but I am so glad he is better now.
Looks like you two are really enjoying being parents :) I knew you were ready to be parents when you came to visit us...you guys were so good with Elle:)
I see you put his little Beaver booties on him...so cute!
Your life will never will be the same. What a blessing it is to have a child.
I'm glad Carter is an easy child and that he is doing better. Thanks for keeping us posted.
