You'd think while Reed sleeps I'd take advantage of the quiet moments to get things done. Instead, I just watch him sleep. He is just so amazing and Brent and I feel so overwhelmed with love for him, it's hard to leave him. I'm told we'll get over it soon, but he is just such a cutie! The reason that I'm able to enjoy our new little boy so much is because my mom came out to help while we adjust to our new routine. Some times we even let her hold Reed (usually when he's fussy, because she knows what to do to help him with his "bubbles")!
Her presence has been an HUGE blessing to our family. She makes it possible for us to enjoy little Reed and not have to worry about anything else. As a new mom, I'm very grateful to have her input and help. I don't know what we'd do without her. She fills in where she sees a need, takes care of the house, meals, and runs errands and somehow knows all of our needs. We haven't had to worry about anything but our new little boy and Brent and I are able to focus all our attention on Reed.
We are often tired and take for granted that she is doing so much to help us. She has been very cheerful and patient with us (who are sometimes exhausted, tired and much less than cheerful or patient) and keeps life runnng smoothly. We appreciate her help so much and can't thank her enough.

Oh he is so cute! I am so glad that your mom was able to come out and help you out for a while so that you are able to focus all your energies on adoring the baby. Tell your mom hi for me! xoxox
Holding new little Reed and feeling his warm breath puffs on my neck was "thank you" enough! I was so glad I could be there for awhile -- I loved every minute -- especially our sleepy-time opportunities to chat! You have a warm wonderful home and you are raelly a sweet family.
