Jase has been a part of our family for almost 4 months now and oh how we just love that little guy! Derek and I were talking about how it seems like he's been here so much longer than that and we can hardly remember what it was like to not have our little Jase baby. We think back to those first couple of weeks and how there was such a roller coaster of emotions and new things going on (mainly for me ;). There was wonder as we would stare at our baby, but there was frustration as well. Jase has been very good, but I don't do well without sleep and adjusting to be woken every 45minutes-2 hours at night was just plain hard. Throw learning how to nurse and the initial pain that comes with that and there were tears had by all. I especially would get anxious in the evenings right before bedtime....something I guess that is pretty common among new mama's called "night time anxiety". Thankfully Derek would pray for us aloud and encourage me to take it one hour at a time. I look back and think of how I prayed that God would sustain me and He has been so faithful in that. Now Jase has grown up a bit and he just gets up once in the night. He has more of a predictable schedule and everyone is just happier:). His smiles and laughs are a joy to be home to see. I don't take it for granted that I can be home most all the time with my little guy. I'm working about one day a week now, but things are flexible and I can do more or less than that. We recently vacationed to Florida so I hope to blog about that soon and do better overall with keeping up with my blog. Here are a couple pictures for you.
