Winston arrived ....

I am now about to go back to work from my 12 weeks of parenting bliss. I love my new roll.. Mom! Winston has my heart, he is such a good little boy. He was born on the 23rd of April and let me tell you that they call it Labor for a reason. With out any pain medication he arrived at 6:43 in the morning after 21 hours of labor. He is absolutely perfect, and I am starting to have separation anxiety at the thought of leaving him... he is such a good baby. We have done lots in the last 12 weeks. He has gone to 2 cubs games, 1 wedding, 3 trips to Indiana, 1 trip to Kentucky, a visit to the aquarium as well as the Zoo and numerous other little outings. He is a great traveler and loves being out side. Spring baby's are the best I must say. (not that I have had a Winter baby) but it has been great to get him out side and push him around in his stroller. I also love to strap him to my chest and go. He has a few different baby carriers all of which are fun to travel with, they put him to sleep in no time. He is growing so fast, born 7lbs 8oz, he is already up to 15lbs, that is over a half a pound a week. My time with him has flown by, I would have loved to give birth in Sweden were they give mothers a year and a half with there new Born's. It will be hard for me to go back to work, especially since i am still nursing him, but I know it is best for our family. We have a wonderful friend who is going to stay in our home with him, we couldn't have been luckier! and let me tell you, Gene loves his little boy, I can't imagine our life now with out the little guy! I think he is beautiful!
