I don't want to miss a thing...........


All new moms have to get some sleep. But I have been feeling so guilty about sleeping because I feel like I am going to miss something cute or memorable and not be able to get that moment back. I just want to savor every moment and remember every little detail about Cooper's first days. I had this overwhelming feeling when I was holding him tonight that I don't want him to grow up and get any bigger. I want to be able to hold him in my arms and snuggle him close for the next 18 years. Is that so unreasonable?? I want him to always be my little boy and I to always be his first love. The phrase" bundle of joy" is so trite and overused but it describes him perfectly. He is our precious gift from God. Thank you Lord for this extraordinary blessing. I promise to do the best I can to raise him up right while glorifying Your name in the process.

My name is Debbie and I live in Ventura, CA. I stumbled on your blog and it brought me to tears. I do not have children of my own but two step daughters and two nieces. My niece Gabby, well I have been blessed to be a part of her life since the day she was born! She is now 13! TREASURE every moment because they grow so fast. Blessings on you and your precious family. I hope to visit your blog again to also watch Cooper grow. God is so good!
