Stickers

I was getting in the shower tonight. Monkey was going to join me, as I was too tired to go through the bathtime routine tonight.

As I'm getting undressed and taking my nursing pads out of my bra, he replies, "stickers"! Nope, not really but yeah kinda. Giggling and thinking to myself.....thank goodness they don't really stick!!

Name?

Me: "What's your name?"
Monkey: "Good Boy!"

Wow, we have a lot to work on!!!

Our little Peanut, we are so in love with you! You came as quite a surprise to us. We hadn't planned on meeting you for two more days, as our c-section was planned for the 19th. You, like your Mama, must love surprises bc you decided on your own that the 17th was going to be your birthday! And surprise you did!! Holy moly you came fast! Much faster than your Mama was ready for.

You knew that you needed to come out and meet this big wide world though. You gave us a scare to start with by not showing us what your cry sounded like, but boy did you let 'er rip once that nurses and doctors worked on you for a bit. You haven't looked back since.

You had a head full of dark brown hair, that beautiful complexion of your Daddy's, and the darkest blue eyes I had ever seen. It was love at first sight for your Daddy and I! You have your Mama's crooked pinky fingers and your Daddy's toes. Long, skinny legs. A slender little face. And a peanut nose. So perfect! God is great!!! You are one of His greatest gifts little one. Simply amazing.

You are patient little one. And adaptable. You can sleep through the craziness of your big brother. You only fuss when you are hungry, dirty, or sleepy. You love to be snuggled close, yet prefer to be carried facing out.....better to take in the world. You are a great little nurser, especially at night :*)!!! Sleep will come little one. This time around your Mama knows there is an end to the sleepless nights.

Your Daddy commented on our second night in the hospital that you complete us. You make us more of a family, not that we were less of a family before. Just a feeling of completeness as we sat there taking both of our boys in. We couldn't have been more proud at that moment!!

You are a sweet little one, Peanut!! I can't wait to watch you grow....just not too fast, OK!! I'm head over heels in love with you. My heart doubled in size when I first met you!

To the moon and back, forever and always!

Love, Your Mommy
