Why I love being a mom



Tonight before I left the hospital, Seth was very alert and awake. The nurse and I tried to wash off most of the goo that was on him from all the tubes and bandages. Then she asked if I wanted to hold him. I couldn't believe she had to ask. So I got to hold Seth for about 20 minutes and he just stared at me. I love taking care of him and looking at his sweet little face. He kept trying to get in a good nursing position, and was a little frustrated I wasn't feeding, but I loved every second of it. The nurse assured me that tonight Randy could hold him and even feed him a bottle since Randy is going to stay the night. I didn't want Randy to feel left out. Here are some pictures (they are from my phone, so some are slightly blurry).
Randy's dad stopped by and Seth was checking him out.


I think he remembers me!

  1. I love the pictures of him looking at you! It's moments such as those that make being a mom all worth it! Glad to hear he is progressing well, and glad you were able to get a good nights sleep in your own bed. Please call if you need something.
