"Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom." Isaiah 40:28
I love this verse~it reminds me that as a new parent, even if I grow tired or weary, my Father does not! He is always there for us to call upon!
Still, this new romance has baffled me. Something so, so new is now my priority. I look forward to waking up in the morning and serving him (or in the middle of the night for that matter)! I run a short, and I mean very short errand, and I miss him already. I never knew how much more my love could be stretched, but I am quickily finding out how deep I am falling in love with my son! My favorite part of the whole process is watching Brent with our Tristan! He is a totally different man! He loves to tend to his little guy...burping, changing, bathing--it really does not matter, he loves it all! My camera is full of those tender moments.
The funniest part to me is, Tristan is not even due until tomorrow! That is so hard for me to believe! That bundle of love would still be inside of me had he come on his due date! What a huge baby he would have been!! Mostly, I just cannot believe that we would have missed out on what is probably the greatest 3 weeks of our lives thus far! I am so thankful the Lord blessed us when he did!
This week has been lovely! Our little man is growing and developing so quickly! He is taking on new faces and noises...little grunts and audible yawns. I feel like I see him looking more and more like Brent rather than me. He is a cuddler, to say the least! We have had a lot of great visitors this week to keep me company. Tonight and thru the weekend it is going to be the grands marathon! Brent is going to the Big 12 tournament, so Gigi and Gammy are going to come stay with us! We found out that Tristan has GERD, which is bascially acid reflux. He had been really fussy when we would lay him down for naps and for bed. We called the Dr. and got a prescription and started propping him up and everything is so much better now. I was always intimidated by newborns. I knew if something was wrong how difficult it would be to figure it out. However, I have found in 21 short days, parents instincts are very real! It is so funny how we are wired that way--to be protectors!
Tristan is finally fitting into his clothes. He loves to nap in his big boy crib. Mom and Dad almost let him sleep there last night. We set up the monitors and everything, but we chickened out and put him back in our room! He'll only be little bitty once! I can't believe next week marks his one month birthday. My, how time flies.

Oh I love the picture of him looking out the window-waiting for the next visitors to arrive or Daddy to come home? So sweet! Your attitude is so positive. I think about that time I was so sleep deprived I was just trying to survive so I was inspired by your words that you enjoy getting up to serve him.
Those are some adorable pictures, Nicki!
I love the pics and enjoy reading the text. Inspirational! Misty Schrank
