Our Little Family
Rylee Mom and Me :)
I've been meaning to write for a while but we got home and things have been pretty crazy trying to get settled and getting the hang of being parents! Hayden is such a joy! He is such a sweet baby and has the cutest personality!! It's amazing to me just how fast Brett and I have fallen in love with him!! I can't believe that I'm a mom! Something I always wanted to be but now that I am one it's such an overwhelming feeling. It's pretty much the greatest feeling in the world! I feel so blessed to have a healthy sweet little boy. Brett wrote a little about the labor process...it was less than pleasant but it's over :) We've been home a week and a day which blows my mind! It's gone by fast!! My mom has been here for 3 weeks which has been AMAZING!! She leaves tomorrow and I'm really really going to miss her! Poor Brett is so tired from studying and lack of sleep from the baby that I think he just might fall over one of these days!! He had a big test last friday....and he has a test monday tuesday and friday of this coming week, so his time has been focused on studying poor guy! I'm so proud of him! He has always worked so hard to provide for me and I admire his determination to do well in school! Anyway I have about a million other pics but just thought I'd post a few!! I love being a mom already and can't wait for the fun times ahead!!!

YEAH!! Your post was really sweet and I'm not joking. I really liked to hear how much you like to be mom. Sometimes life gets hard and it is easy to talk about the negative but you are always so positive, I really admire that. Well I miss you! Hope everything is going well. I'll call you tomorrow after work!
