Austin

So, let me tell ya about my best friend. Austin aka "My Monkey". Truly is a gift from the heavens. We met on Friday, February 4th. I fell in love instantly. He's definately "this" Mama's boy. He came to me very underweight, teething and with an inability to sleep more than an hour at a time. I spent pretty much every night on the sofa with him on my chest. He's hungry all the time, and I'm determined to get some weight on him before his next doctor's appt. He's all smiles and giggles and wakes up every morning with sparkling eyes. I swear that boy was put on this earth to make me wake up and become a grown up. I've never been so exhausted...the constant diapers, feedings, baths, pacifier pickups and rocking until we both are crying have taken their toll...but I wouldn't trade it for a single instant. I'm in love with this baby. Both of them actually. I can only pray that their mom does the right thing. I'll leave it up to someone bigger than me to decide what "the right thing" is. He truly is a gift and I'm treasuring every single precious second of it.
