The BEST 6 days of my life...

I can't even describe how WONDERFUL the last few days have been for me...I go from pain on the 24th of June to pure joy the 25th! Turner has been the most precious baby...he eats, poops, sleeps, poops, eats, well, you get the picture...I would not trade this life for anything! I sometimes think I am just dreaming because I have always wanted a child of my own. I love kids, especially my two nephews and niece...I am thankful that I have a sister who let me take care and treat them like they are my own! It is amazing how much things change when they are your own...I have cried about little things that only a mother would cry about...I can't believe all the stuff that you worry about now...and probably will for the rest of my life...but when I look at him and he looks at me I could absolutely melt!

On to Billy...I could not have asked, wished, dreamed, etc. for a better husband and father to my child...I did not change a diaper until Turner was 4 days old!! He did all the diapers!! He said after watching what he watched it was the least he could do... He has been so wonderful and he did great in the deli every room. He has been a great support and I don't know how I could do it without him...he feels bad about the fact that I am the only one who can feed him, but even then he makes me wake him up so he can change him or he will go get me water and a snack at 2:00 AM.

I feel that God has blessed me with so much more than I deserve and I am so thankful for this family that I have! God is so AMAZING and I can't wait to see what He has in store for us.

I am also lucky to have my wonderful family...I have called my sister so many times and every time I talk to her I feel so much better...it is so nice that she has just had the same experience just 6 short months ago! I look at Julia Hope and think that how fast she is growing up knowing that my sweet Turner will be there in a blink of an eye. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have her in my life...she keeps me sane! :) My parents have also been wonderful...thanks to my dad, my yard has NEVER looked so great! And my mother...oh my mother, she has made sure that I have asked every question to the doctors about him and she has taken care of ME! I know that sounds selfish, but it has been nice to have someone who cares so much about you...she would come to the hospital just to help with my showers so Billy could just focus on the baby...now that is dedication if I say so myself. She has even cooked dinner for us...and those of you who know my mother, know she doesn't cook! Once again, I am so blessed!

Thank you to all of my friends who have prayed, called, e-mailed, or texted in the last few days...we truly feel all the love and support from you!!

It is amazing how fast the last few days have flown by...and I truly hope it slows down because I don't want to miss a minute of this wonderful journey we are on...
