The last week or so has been pretty good. It's definitely tiring having an almost 3 week old, but we are blessed with a great baby. He gets kind of gassy, which makes his fussy [[even that isn't too bad]] and we are trying to figure out what is making him that way. And he takes an hour to nurse which can be kind of frustrating, but I'm so glad we finally have nursing down. :) I'm very glad I didn't give up. I wanted to so bad. I believe the Lord is really teaching me a lot of patience, which I have very little of, in the hard time of raising a newborn. I definitely find myself relying on his calming grace and mercy to get through the day. I find myself praying more than I have in a while. Praying for Aiden, help in understanding his needs when I feel lost, and for myself, when I feel over whelmed or sad. Patience is definitely a character trait I've always struggled with. Having a 3 week old that nurses for 3 hours and gets my up every 3 hours makes it hard to get out of the house definitely requires some patience. Things are getting better each day and I'm just trying to enjoy the time I have with my sweet baby boy :) That's really all I have to update on for now. I just ask for prayers as I continue to try my best to rely on God and learn patience...Thank you all so much.
Now here are some pictures....
Mommy making him crazy!
