Our sweet little guy, our no-named-baby-on-the-blog, turned 2 weeks old today!! Neil and I are dragging with very little sleep feeding a preemie every 3 hours, but this lack of sleep is such a blessing to be given the opportunity to hold and snuggle and love a baby again! How blessed we are to have another little young one to raise!! So, if it seems we are out of it, and especially with my hubby returning to work, just give a good pinch or shake to wake us up again. ;) The transition and babymoon have been going marvelously well, and we are so thankful for the outpouring of love and support with "meals of love" from family and friends. With Neil taking care of baby and I and the rest of the crew, he hasn't had to prepare one meal since baby was born because of the generosity of others feeding our bellies. It has given us more time with each other and most especially, more time snuggling and bonding with baby!!
Not only was today our little guy's two week birthday, but it was also the first feast day of a new saint - Pope Saint John Paul II!! Kiddos colored pages of him today, watched a show "John Paul II: Be Not Afraid" on EWTN, watched two cool videos on YouTube....
...and we celebrated by eating Polish Sausage for dinner. How cool for Neil and I to grow up with him as Pope and then also be around for him to be named a saint and celebrate his first feast day!! What an amazing man he was!! My favorite quote of his means so much every time we have a new baby, so how fitting it is that we are celebrating his first feast day with a newborn brought into our lives and family and home just two weeks ago today...
++Pope Saint John Paul II, ora pro nobis!!++
