Loving Parenthood

Well today John is 5 days old and is just getting cuter and cuter each day. He had his first photo shoot today with Sarah Beard. They turned out so cute...so he is a natural for the camera. He was pooped after it, so he has been napping. More updated pictures should be up soon. He is doing well with the changes from the womb to the real world. Last night he let me sleep from 11:30 - 3:00 a.m. and then from 3:30 to 6:15. Isn't he just swell!
It is amazing that God has given Matt and I this gift. We are so overwhelmed with gratitude. We are also so overwhelmed at how everyone has welcomed John into the world. We have had so many visitors, gifts and words of love. We tell John each day that he has so many people that love him. Sometimes I just look at him and can't keep the tears back because he is so precious. I have always wanted and looked forward to being a mother, but I never imagined the love that I could feel for one tiny person.
