Yesterday I had the privelege of bringing home the greatest gift any mom could ever ask for on Mother's Day...our newest little boy!
 Noah Grant Hunsberger
5-11-07
8 pounds 4 ounces
I didn't have internet in the hospital and so this has been my first chance to introduce you all to Noah. I have been so excited to show him off! Thank you all for praying...my labor and delivery was INCREDIBLE! Compared with Landon, every single aspect was a walk in the park. I will post the story soon...but suffice to say that yes it hurt, and yes it was what labor is ~ excruciating...but it was relatively short and ended with this beautiful little miracle.
I am doing great. I have the normal pain of recovery and am extremely sleep deprived, but aside from that I am doing wonderfully. Noah is healthy and beautiful. When he came out, I thought he was a seven pounder...he looked so tiny, but he shocked me by being 8.4 ounds! He has lots of hair, especially in the back, but unlike Landon who had white hair, Noah has strawberry blonde (I love it and wish it would stay forever!) and I get lots of jokes about the mailman considering the rest of us are all blondes  He weighed 7 pounds 10 ounces when we left the hospital yesterday and he just seems so tiny and perfect! 
 Landon is completely and totally in love with his baby brother. He cried every time he had to leave the hospital becuase he didn't want to leave his brother behind. He has held and kissed him at least a million times, and so far, the adjustment has been as easy as pie...but it is only day 2 Noah seems very laid back, although last night he had a pretty rough time from 10:30 until about 3. Now, of course, he is sleeping soundly by my side.
Thank you for praying and encouraging and walking beside us through this incredible journey. I knew I would say this, and I am going to...I hated being pregnant and feeling so sick all of the time (and now that he is out I am seriously REVELLING in how wonderful it is to feel no nausea!!!) but even moments after labor I knew that we would do this again. Nine months is nothing, absolutely nothing, to get this incredible, miraculous, perfect little bundle in the end. And so begins our life as a family of four...and I could not love my boys or feel more blessed in every possible way than I do at this very moment. Friday at 3:20 pm I was indeed handed my joy from the Lord.
More to come soon....I promise |
