The crowd is off to church and I am enjoying some quiet time this morning. My little guy is almost a week old already. It's been a good week so far. Not a ton of sleep, but some. Enough that I am surviving well during the day. I am so grateful for the timing of Josiah's birth. B/c of the holiday, Steve had 3 days off when we got home from the hospital. He's been a huge help to me in so many ways...doing all the things I normally do and allowing me to rest and take care of the baby. That will all come crashing down tomorrow when he returns to work. I'm a little nervous about the transition, but know that as God has given me much grace so far, He will only continue to provide me with what I need.
These are fleeting days and I am trying to soak in every minute of his newborn sweetness as I possibly can. Before I know it, he will be running around with the rest of the crowd.

Lori, it is so special to get to see pictures, especially since I can't see him in person. I'm delighted to hear that all went well for you, and that you have another boy!

ReplyDeleteOk, the picture of Aaron holding Josiah just about made me cry! so sweet. so many fun days to come with the 2 brothers!
ReplyDeleteWell, Steve's been back to work for a while by now, but so thankful God gave you those 3 days of help and support. I hope it gave your recovery a good start ... honestly I feel like the first few days set the tone for me and how I felt/recovered afterward.
ReplyDeleteThe picture of Aaron holding the baby is just precious. He must be over the moon about having a little brother!
So thankful for your new little addition. A brother for Aaron!! Hope all is well. Thinking and praying for you today.
