One Whole Month!

I guess I'm a day late, but yesterday was exactly one month since our Gavin joined our family. I can easily say that these last four weeks have been the hardest, and the most incredible of my life. Giving birth was easy, bringing him home was terrifying. But I'm finally feeling like we have more of a handle on things and catching up on sleep has a huge part in that! We ended up putting Gavin on a bottle which was such a difficult thing for me, I've always, always wanted to nurse my babies. But there are perks to a bottle - first and foremost a full, happy baby! And Blair can get up with him in the night giving me a chance to get more sleep, plus the bonding time Blair gets with Gavin is incredible! Blair is so good with him and I love Gavin's reaction when he hears his voice. Blair is a natural and Gavin most definitely loves his daddy! Gavin is such a great sleeper when he sleeps :) He actually gave us 5 full hours last night which is awesome! It's amazing what an extra hour or two will do! I have dreamed of being a mom since I was little and I still can't believe that I am one now. I can't describe how much love I feel for Gavin and how grateful I am that we've been chosen to be his parents. He is such a sweet, calm, contented little boy and I feel like he brings Blair and I closer to our Heavenly Father. Probably because I've also never prayed for more help and guidance than I have in the last 4 weeks! I never expected it to be this hard or this enjoyable all at the same time! We also are so very grateful to both of our families. Their love and support has been so appreciated and we don't know what we would have done without it! I am so happy Gavin is here, I love my little family!

He smiles the most when he's asleep, its so cute!

Very important tummy-time with daddy, they are so cute together!

Goal!!
