I'm baaaaaaaaack. Actually I am probably not. It's hard to stay committed to keeping my blog up, so I am making no promises. But I did want to write an entry for my sweet baby boy. Noah Parker Gary was born October 22. I am extremely excited to have a Halloween baby and will probably have Halloween birthday parties until he is old enough to tell me to stop. He was 7 lbs, 11 oz, 19" long and born with a full head of black hair. He had to be monitored for his first few hours so Bert got to spend that time with him while I impatiently waited in my room. I was so happy when he was finally wheeled in and I got to hold him. We stayed in the hospital for four nights and Camryn stayed with Jan and came and visited us every day. We came home and had to get adjusted to having a baby in the house again. For the first few weeks he was a major fussy butt and I was afraid he might have colic. Between the fussiness and lack of sleep tensions ran a little high, and then it stopped. He has turned into a smiley happy giggly baby who rarely cries except for food or if he gets tired.
He is definitely a little sweetie and I am all over him. I'm surprised he doesn't have a dent in in his cheeks with all of the kisses he gets from Bert and I. He loves his bouncer chair and his swing and taking baths. Camryn has been great with him, she helps make bottles, passes me diapers and wipes and brings him stuffed animals to try and soothe him if he is getting fussy.
I feel so blessed to have my little family. Everyone is healthy and happy and I really couldn't ask for anything more. I can only hope that 2013 is as wonderful for us as 2012 has been.
