Okay so Lincoln has arrived! he was born dec 7th at 8:00 6 lbs 7 oz. He is such a precious little thing. I feel sooooo unbelievably blessed in my life. I can't help but feel like the Lord has directed and blessed my life so much since marrying my most amazing husband. Sometimes i feel like i don't really deserve to have such a blessed life. I'm so grateful to my Heavenly Father and the obvious love he has for me. life just keeps getting better and better. I had no idea what a void i had in my life until i Married Barry. He filled me so much... Then along came my little Keira. I didn't think life could get better than what it was, and now Lincoln!!! wow. My heart is so full with love for life and my family. I'm not going to say that everyday is just a bliss though.. having 2 babies with 2 very different needs. Both of which are still in diapers is HARD!!! man.. even with the full help of my husband with him being on Christmas break i still feel so overwhelmed at times. I change diapers all day! ha and if im not doing that I'm stuck on the couch nursing. AND if im not doing that I'm constantly picking up after keira! oh man im tired. But i LOVE my babies. This is more than worth it. okay im done writing about my feelings. Here are picture updates!

I love how much you love being a wife and mother! You are soo amazing Charmaine! I really want to meet that little guy. Lets for sure get together after Christmas and i'll come down and see you all.
ReplyDeleteMiss you!!
He is flippin gorgeous Charmaine. Dead seer I'm about to bawl about it. I was just talking to Erica the other day about how I miss you so much, especially whenever I come home. You are doing amazing things right now. Zilch joke he is a pretty baby, not alien looking at all....rare. I want to come see you crazy bad, slash I don't have your number, so let me know who does have it so I can bribe them for it. I love you like crazy!
ReplyDeleteCharmaine! he is perfect! i love his name too. you have a beautiful family.
ReplyDeleteOh my word! he's adorable! {if you need pics let me know...i need newborn practice, no charge. :)} Your family is beautiful, and your children are just precious! I can't believe you have two, that is just so perfect! I love it!
ReplyDeleteoh dear sister. As I read through your post about there being such a void in your life until you got married and had children I know exactly how you feel! It's funny how our children will only know us as mom. Just like we know our mom just to be mom. It's funny we had such a different life before marrying and having kids. It's so weird that there are so many stages to this life. I think about you everyday. I love you so much Charmaine. I want you to know right now that if anything were to happen to you my heart would just melt into my stomach and never find it's placement again. My love for my dear sister is so thick it's suffocating (a good suffocating). I want to be like you. I love you ever so dearly. I would do anything for you. I hope that you know how much you really mean to me. You give me so much strength. What would I do without someone so great as you in my life? My life would be so empty. I'm so glad that you have Barry in your life. I can't wait to see you at Christmas. I can't wait to give hugs and kisses to my sweet niece and nephew. I love you!
