Happiness!

Ahhhh!  Sometimes you are just so happy and thankful.  I just have to brag on my wonderful Jeff.  I tell you what, motherhood is hard.  The hardest thing I've encountered is not getting enough sleep!  After a while, it wears on a soul.  Yesterday after church services, Jeff cleaned up the dishes, and sent me to bed to sleep.  I got to sleep for three hours!  It's amazing how your outlook can be more positive after some rest.  But it doesn't end there!  After evening services, he cleaned up supper AGAIN, and when I came out of the shower, he had Zane and was giving him a bath!  It was so nice.  He takes such good care of us, and I am so thankful for him!  I hope everyone has someone in their life that makes them laugh and smile like Jeff does for me!

My two joys.

I'll be the first to admit it...

I'm an inexperienced new mom.  I don't know everything and that's why I called the nurse this morning!  Yesterday, Zane had white drainage in his left eye and this morning it was yellow and all matted over.  Poor little guy couldn't see through the goop.  I thought he may have gotten it at church and that was probably going to be the last time anyone ever got to lay a finger on him.  Just kidding.  Sort of.  When the nurse finally called back, she said it sounded like a blocked tear duct, which come to find out is common among newborns.  So, after he wakes up from his nap, the poor little guy is going to have to surrender to me trying to gently rub the corner of his eye with a warm, wet, cloth.  I'm sure it will go exactly as I expect it with him flailing his little arms trying to get my hand away.  But, it's for his own good.  Oh, poor little thing.  I know it's just the beginning.  Other things are going to happen, but I sure don't want them to!  If I could have everything happen to me, that's going to happen to him, that would be just fine-I'd take it. 

Snoozing away early this morning.
