Father/Son

Jeremy is WAY attached to this little guy.

And it melts my heart.

He is, of course, crazy about his Anna.  She's got him wrapped around her little finger and he totally spoils the daylights out of her.  And I thought it couldn't get any cuter.

Until he had a son.  He cannot spend get enough of that little guy.

I spent the night there with Anthony on Thursday night.  By Friday, I needed some sleep, badly.  I'd been up with J all night Wed while she labored.  I was stressed, emotional, tired, drained, and ready for a full night's sleep before this newborn comes home.

So Jeremy begged offered to take the night shift Friday night.  He absolutely loved it.  He told me this morning that he held him all night and now when he sets Anthony down, he cries.  He's going to take the night shift again tonight so that I can get one last good night's sleep.  My body rebels and since I'm running on no sleep, very little food, and forgetting to take my vitamins, I can feel that cold creeping in.  I can't be sick when my baby comes home.  So I guess I'll have to twist my hubby's arm and make him spend all night with his little buddy as he keeps calling him.  I'm normally the one that cannot leave a baby.  But this time I know, realistically, that I have to take care of myself before he comes home.  And Anna needs her mama too.  And I know that in a week and a half, daddy will go back to work and he will miss that bonding time, so he can have it now :-).

I just cannot believe how incredibly blessed we are.

Please keep praying that surrenders can be signed right away on Sunday.  Both J and Anthony will be discharged after that!  We're bringing home a baby on Easter!  What a dream come true!
