Happy Times

I have to admit that I was a little nervous to have this baby. It has been 4 years since Makenna was a baby and I worried that I might not remember how to take care of a baby. Luckily, once I held this sweet little one, everything seemed to come back to me. Especially the memories of when my other two were babies. I always loved (and still do) snuggling with them as they sleep on my shoulder, I love seeing the faces they make as they sleep, I love the way their hair gets really fluffy after I have just washed it, I love when they hold one of my fingers with their tiny hand, I love seeing them sleep on Derek's shoulder, I love when I take them out of the carseat and they keep their legs curled up but they arch their back and they look so tiny. Now with Thomas, I love that Makenna wants to hold him and that she loves him even though he is getting a lot of the attention these days. I love that last night in the car Travis was trying to hold his coughs in because he was worried about coughing near the baby. I love how Travis always says, "He's so cute!" This has really been a happy time for our family, even with having to adjust to a few things. I am so grateful that I can be a mother and experience all of these things!
