Day 8- His first bath

Well today was our last day together at home. Stephen has to go back to work tomorrow. We are going to miss him so much!

We had such a busy day and we didn't go anywhere and no one came over. It is amazing how much time it takes to feed a baby, change diapers, wash bottles, pump, do a load of laundry, fix meals, etc. Plus we have two people doing all of that right now. I don't know how I am going to do it next week without Stephen.

The good news is that today I started feeling much better! I am so grateful for this. However, because I was feeling good I did way too much and am in a lot of pain tonight. I am going to try and take it easy tomorrow with my parents here and get some rest. But I am hoping that I keep feeling better each day!

We gave Stephen III his first bath at home today. He seemed to love it and just sat there and looked around. He smelled so good right after his bath and looked just adorable wrapped up in his towel.

I'm not sure what this move is, but it cracked me up!

After his bath, we had another photo shoot.

He tucks his bottom lip under a lot.

Pretty eyelashes.

He has now started kicking his feet a lot more. It is super cute!

And he is over the photo shoot.

Tonight the three of us sat on the couch and cuddled together as a family. I still can not believe we were blessed with the most perfect baby boy! It is so hard to believe he is ours. One day this week I was holding Stephen III and just talking to him and I was telling him how much we loved him. I told him that he would never know how much we loved him and Stephen said, he will know when he has one of his own. It is so true. There are no words to describe the love you have for your child. It's hard for me to imagine that our parents love us as much as we love him. But they do. And hopefully one day our son will have a child and know the love we have for him.

The past 8 days have been some of the most special days I will ever have. They have been hard, but they have also been incredible! There is no where else in the world I would have rather been the past 8 days than just where we have been. I can't wait to see what the rest of our lives have in store for us as we raise our family.
