I have been blessed
I know I always promise to update and I never do. How sad.
My handsome man baby boy was born on January 3! Little Richard Allin. 8lbs 6 oz. He only took a lifetime to get here. By the end of December I honestly couldn't take it anymore. But now I kind of miss him being with melike that, though I wouldn't trade having him here for anything in the world.
I wish I could explain the joy he brings me, but I'm sure every parent knows the feeling. Sometimes I feel like he is so much older and wiser than his four weeks and I could talk to him for hours. He is such a blessing in every way and I could not imagine life without him.
And even though the circumstancs in which he was brought into the world are not altogether ideal, I still believe with all my heart that God trusts me with his life and so has blessed me with this healthy child. Richie and I are doing all we can to ensure that our son grows up in a healthy environment where he will learn to love God as we do.
Even though my life has changed, I honestly believe that somehow this was meant to be. I always wanted a huge family and I wanted to start young. And I always wanted to stay home with my family and take care of them. And that is what I will do. Maybe this isn't the way God wanted it to happen, but I still think that my life is where it was meant to go.
Oh the joy of being a mommy =]
There are a million cute pictures on my phone but sadly, my phone will not connect to my computer today :(
