I love Gus. a lot. I had expressed some concern about how would I ever be able to love another baby as much as I loved Zoee and even more, how could I love a boy baby? I know it sounds so weird and a lot of people might think I am crazy but it really was a real concern. Everyone assured me that I would love him the second I saw him and held him but I was still worried.
They were right. It's the strangest thing.
I guess that's what it is to be a parent. You love all your kids no matter what.
After a really long labor, Gus was finally out and they put him on my stomach. I fell in love with him right then. I just wanted to hold him close and kiss him. They soon took him away to clean him and make sure he was ok. I kept watching him and just thinking how much I loved him. It gets better every time I hold him and look at him. He is just perfect. I cant imagine what it would be like without him now. Nate keeps making me repeat myself when I say how much I love him and reminds me about how worried I was.
So rest assured, I love my baby boy. More than I ever thought possible. I don't know where all this love comes from but it's there and it makes me happy.

I posted a minute ago and realized it made no sense, so lets try again. He has the cutest little face all I want to do is just squeeze those cheeks!
ahhhhhh well said Stac!
Are you gonna cry? J/k. Love you AND Gus and how could you NOT love such an adorable baby!?
That is so sweet! I know exactly how you felt. It always seems hard when you have your second. You know you'll love your first but you can't imagine loving anything or any one more than your 1st baby but you do. You have enough love for each of your kids and the more you have, the more you get to experience that joy! That is until they start walking! ha ha
So, the plan is working. You know, the plan, to come here and learn from our own experience? There are some things you just HAVE to experience to know. This is one of them :)Love you!
Just wait 16 years until he wrecks the car!!!:) I only have one, but I know exactly what you mean. That's what I was feeling in those pictures of Kiersten's birth.
Thanks for sharing that Stacy. Know just what you are talking about, and nobody could every explain how that feeling is. You just have to experience it. Now tuck those thoughts away so when he wrecks the truck at 16 coming home from SEMINARY, you'll still love him.
Thanks for bringing that memory back Mom!
Oh, he's SO DARN CUTE!! Love those chubby cheeks. Our second daughter (Lindsay) weighed 8lbs 15 ozs and had "the cheeks" too. So kissable! And the hair is amazing!!
