So Here You Have HIM...



Okay...Okay.. I know that I am late on posting this notice... I am 18 days late actually.... but as the old adage goes better late than never right?

HERE HE IS......Joseph Scott Williams was born...Friday February 26, 2010 at 8:31 am.
he weighed in at 8 lbs. 3oz. and was 21 inches long.



He is such a good little man too. The Hospital stay was wonderful too. The nurses helped me with so much and taught us how to really care for Joey. We were so lucky to be there.
Joey was delivered via C-Section and he was a few weeks early. I was not able to meet him until he was about four hours old. I held him and I melted. I wanted to cry with joy..with an overwhelming sense of joy, but my spinal had worn off and my belly was beginning to hurt a bit, so I held my tears back. My husband was with him since the moment he was born and then followed him into the nursery.
They had to clean his lungs out since they had some mucus in them. (this is why I did not meet him until later) he was being checked and observed in the nursery. My family was there and it was a special time. A joyous time really. Joey came into our lives just when he was suppose to and when we needed him most.

This little man is growing in only 18days I cannot believe how big he is and how much he eats...(then again he has that Mayo gene in him) but we are loving being a family.....

Miles on the other hand does not know what to make of this little man. He is very curious and wants to lick him. He too is in need of our attention, which I admit is not always that easy, but Miles sticks out the midnight feedings with me and is right there to tell me if Joey is crying.

I have to be honest, I don't even remember being pregnant not that he is here. Good thing I have that belly cast to remind me. But this is sooo different. I have never thought being a mom would be like this or feel like this. It is hard work, but it is perfect work.

So here you have Him...my son, Joey.....





















Sometimes I just look at him and I cannot believe that God chose me to be this little boy's mom. He is just so stinkin' cute...I know I'm the mom so I have to think that, but I really do think it....
