Littlest one,
We are so in love with you. You are just 3 days old, and already you have enriched our lives more than you will ever know. Tonight, after your big brother had a bath, we all climbed in his bed to read stories and say prayers. With you there, with your tiny little body and wide eyes, I felt an overwhelming sense of family. Our family. You are perfect in every way and a true blessing from God.
McCord was the first one to meet Wade after he was born and he got to carry a sign out to the waiting room that said "I have a baby brother!" to make the big gender announcement to our families. Bo & I talked a lot about the day of delivery and how to best help McCord adjust, and we decided that he should be invited to meet Wade first - allowing us a few moments together as our family of 4 before the rest of the family visited. We were so amazed and thankful to watch McCord's sweet and affectionate reaction to Wade. He crawled up on the bed with me and gave Wade a kiss! His eyes were filled with pride and awe - two things I didn't know a 22 month-old could feel or show.
Fortunately, Bo was able to take a week off of work, so we are spending this week, just the 4 of us, adjusting. Without a doubt, this is a tiresome and challenging process, but I am thoroughly enjoying this phase of life as we stumble through this learning curve, trying to be the best parents we can be. These moments of bringing home our second child will only come once, and I'm relishing in the fullness of these days.
How thankful we are for two healthy, happy boys!
