My Perfect Life

Graham is now 12 weeks and life with him has been absolutely perfect. I always worried that when you wait for something for so long that it's not always what you dreamed up in your head but it's actually been even better! I anticipated that the newborn stage would be sleep deprived and extremely  difficult but it hasn't been that way at all. He started sleeping through the night at 6 weeks and takes plenty of long naps so I'm essentially getting more sleep than before he came. He's happy most of the time and we are loving every minute with this sweet boy. 

He likes to smile, read books, babble, take baths and listen to music. His favorite songs at the moment are "Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile" from Annie (not sure how this even started haha!) and "I am a Promise." I think it's very fitting that these are his favorites because he smiles a lot and was the biggest promise fulfillment that ever was. I am trying my best to thank God every day for this huge blessing.

He does not like late afternoons and cries sometimes so we go for walks which normally calms him. But to be honest, his crying doesn't upset me. I know he is taken care of and just needs to expel his energy at that time and I have waited 10 years to hear that cry. I know there will be days ahead that will be hard but right now every day is a complete blessing, crying or no crying. I can't explain how thankful I am to God and all the people it took to get him here. Graham you are more than we could have ever imagined and we are so glad we waited for you. You are the baby boy that we were always meant to have.
