I can't believe I have a 1 week old. I have been wanting to blog for days but I've been so overwhelmed with emotions that I didn't trust myself not to be a babbling brook on here. I will try to suffice it to say that there is absolutely no way to explain or even describe the love you feel for a child. (This is coming from someone who never thought I would love anything more than my dog-child, Abby.) I actually worried that I may not love Annabel as much as I love Abby at one point during the pregnancy...
Motherhood does bring a lot of unique challenges, unique in that every new mother experiences challenges but different ones. I have enjoyed talking with and praying for some friends and new moms, while cherishing their prayers for us. We definitely feel those while we are burning the midnight oil.
We've had lots of firsts this week: car ride, drs visit, walk in the stroller, bath. It's all so special and I'm trying not to go overboard posting pics to facebook. One of the best things has been watching Wes fall in love with Annabel. When I wake him in the middle of the night for help, he just smiles. A daddy's girl in the making, for sure.
Thank you all for your well wishes and prayers!
