27 from here on out...

Ok, Ok, I'm alive- and no longer pregnant.

In summary of the last few weeks:

I used to think I didn't want to share my birthday with anyone, especially a child...now I'm happy that my son was born on my day...The nurses all told me that now he gets all the Bdays and I stay 27 forever. Fine by me. I also think its kind of cool that he waited for me. Already a mammas boy.

I used to be unsure about having a "boy". I knew girls, I was a girl, but boys...that was uncharted territory that I wasn't sure I wanted to tackle. Now, 2 1/2 weeks later I love having a son. I can't imagine life without this little boy.

I used to be worried that I wouldn't be able to love two kids. I mean, I loved The Girl with my whole heart, I didn't know how there would be room for another, I knew I'd like him, but wasn't sure I could love him as MUCH as her. A wise person told me that they come from heaven with their own love. That is the truth. My heart didn't have to make room for The Boy, my heart expanded. Our life is that much richer, that much fuller, and that much more complete. (The nights however are another story, there is nothing rich about waking up every couple hours...)

Finally, I would like to say that I absolutely LOVE the fact that I am no longer pregnant. Life is so much sweeter holding my son on the outside rather than the inside.

Thanks for your patience. I will post pictures as soon as I get new batteries for my camera...It's been getting a lot of use and is currently dead. :)
