A few snap shots of the day you were born and your first month.
June 2, 2011
Happy One Month Old day William! I can't believe it's been a month already since your sweet little face joined our family. You are such a little sweetheart. I love to cuddle with you and listen to your little sighs. I love your little newborn cry and pouty lip. Soon as we give you your bottle you put your little arms around both sides [hands in little fists] and make the cutest little grunts, it's you're saying, "Now that you finally brought it, I'm not giving it up so don't even think about taking it." I just love that.
Everyone you meet can't get over all of your beautiful dark hair and chubby cheeks. They think you are quite the handsome little ma, and of course, so do I! One of my other favorite things is how you smile at me when I sing you lullaby's. I remember the first night in the hospital after you were born, the nurse brought you sometime in the middle of the night so I could nurse you. I remember being SO exhausted. I nursed you on both sides and you were wide awake. Right after delivery I got pretty sick so I had barely gotten to see or hold you much at all that day, instead of sending you right back I took advantage of the quiet, still night and snuggled you close and talked to you about our crazy day. I wished you could tell me about it from your perspective and told you I was sure it would be an even better story. I remember how immediately I fell in love with you and feeling very much at peace and a feeling immeasurable amounts of joy and happiness all the while feeling very inadequate and unworthy knowing you just came from the pre-existence. I cradled your little head in my hands and put your little face in front of me and just talked to you. Then, I sang the song I sung to Lainey many nights..."You are My Sunshine" and you just beamed the most beautiful, handsome, big smile. It melted my heart and ever since you always smile no matter how horrible the singing is. :) I LOVE that. I know you will do many great and wonderful things on this Earth and I am so honored to be your Mommy. I love you more and more each day...you will never come close to understanding just how much until the day you yourself become a Daddy, then and only then will you begin to understand. I hope and pray I can be the Mommy and example you need and deserve to have. You are a choice son of our Heavenly Father and I hope you always remember and KNOW that. I love you son, I'm so pleased you are finally here. We had a long journey, you and I, getting you here safe and strong and healthy but it was well worth it. It brings much joy to finally cradle you in my arms and kiss that sweet little face.
