Two Week Check-In

It's hard to believe that it was two weeks ago today that we brought our son home! In that time I have found myself so overwhelmed by him (in the best possible way) that blogging has been the last thing on my mind. But there is so much to fill you all in on that over the next few days I'll be on blogging overload while he sleeps! 

For now though I will start by saying that nothing about my labor and delivery process was what I had pictured. It was nothing like the books said it would be nor did I line up with any of the statistics I'd been reading about. 

I have read many "birth stories" over the last year and have always thought I too would have a moving story to share. But for me I can honestly say I don't feel like there is much of a tale to tell but I will tell it anyway. Stay tunes tomorrow for our "birth story". 

In the meantime I will leave you with this - having a child is truly the most miraculous and wonderful thing a woman can do. As cliche as it sounds it's true - my son is without a doubt the BEST thing that's ever happened to me. I feel blessed in ways I never have before and my heart is so full it could burst. With every passing minute I wish time would slow down so I could have just "one more" minute with my newborn! It's hard to believe he's already 17 days old! I stare into his little face for hours on end memorizing every inch hoping to never forget these moments...
