It has happened. I have fallen in love with another man. He came into my life on September 18th and I know it is going to be a forever lasting relationship. Don't worry, Randy is just fine with this situation. To be honest, I think he has fallen in love too!
This little guy is named Carter Jackson Garn. He weighed 8lbs even and was 19". He was born at 3:50pm after almost 7 hours of labor. His heart rate kept the nurses on their toes because it kept dropping after every contraction. After many, many prayers, we were able to avoid a c-section and he was born without complication.
He has me wrapped completely around his little finger. I soak him in every second of the day. I don't want to miss anything about him. I have to admit that I have been sad thinking that he is the caboose. I love my family and I am grateful for all my experiences with them, but this is my favorite time of motherhood. Yes...the pregnancy and bleary-eyed newbORn STAGE IS MY FAVORITE. I never feel more confident in my abilities as a woman and mother than when I am caring for a new life in me and out.
So, please understand if my eyes look a little red the next time you see me. I've been spending all my time staring at my "sun".
