Baby Noelan - 1 Week Old

I'm going to try and make this short and sweet because I'm tired & can't wait to fall asleep! I took Noelan to his first (one week) check up today and he's now an even 7lbs :) So he gained all his weight back and then some. [He was 6 lbs 11oz and when we left the hospital he was 6lbs 4oz] We're all adjusting well besides the fact that our family is still not feeling 100%...but from the sounds of it a lot of people all over aren't either - the yucky part of winter. I'm very thankful Noelan hasn't picked up anything in the few days he's been home and around coughing boys...who I'm having a hard time keeping their kisses off Noelan. (I wouldn't be able to help myself either though, he's so smoochable!) I feel like the grinch when his heart grew and grew...except my heart already felt full with the love I had for Tim and the boys. It's an awesome feeling. I love our family and am so thankful for this gift. God had this plan from the very beginning. My little IUD baby was meant to be here - here and now. I've told Noelan over and over that he was so worth all the surprises and complications through the pregnancy. He makes me smile even at 3 in the morning...with that being said Goodnight so I can catch some sleep before waking up in a few hours.
