I thought I was going to end this blog but I realized it is a great way to share our new experiences with Jamin Andrew, our newborn, and Daniel James our 3 year old.
It's great to be back home from the hospital. Heather recovered quickly, thank God, and she is feeling pretty good. It is nice that family steps in to play a part. Aunt Robin came over with all the boys to make dinner and Mama and Papa came over to spend time with Heather while I had to work. These little details are the glue that makes life work well and allows me to see God working around us.
"Little Jamin" is Daniel's name for his brother. He just loves him. I am impressed at his nurturing with Jamin. He wants to "pet" him and kiss him and read to him. He likes to hold him and love on him. It is very amazing to see his little heart in action.Having a new born in the house changes things emotionally. We are all much calmer and relaxed than we were a week ago, but we are also more fatigued and looking for reasons to to relax together. It is a very refreshing change.
I went on a cleaning spree as soon as I had time away from the hospital. I had starting a cleaning process last week but it was Daniel's birthday and we had a herd of youngins running around. By the time we got settled back in the house, I was wiping down everything and putting clothes away, going through stuff, organizing toys, cleaning the dishes, wiping the cabinets... It was some freak cleaning spree. I think it is a genetic response to having a new baby. I have heard moms call it nesting. I guess, I am just a little late as usual... I waited until the baby got home :) I seem to work better under pressure.
Thanks for stopping by to read and look at pictures and possibly videos soon. We'll see if I keep posting, if only just for a family diary. God bless you and yours and always remember, God is in control and you can do all things through Christ, who gives us strength.
