Arlo's 1st Week

We made it!  We survived!  And we have loved every minute of it.... Well, almost every minute of it!  I can honestly say that having Arlo is the biggest blessing in my life and I do not know what I have done so right in my life that my Heavenly Father would bless me with such a beautiful, sweet and loving baby boy!  

On another note, let me tell you how Arlo has officially introduced me to motherhood.  We have had our late nights, I am not only sore from the delivery but I am also trying to breast feed and all mothers will understand how that can be a challenge at the beginning:) But the topper happened yesterday not once but twice!  I was changing my sweet pea's diaper trying to be as careful as possible (he was circumcised yesterday) the minute I took away his old diaper, reached for another, and came right back, I found a little pile waiting for me!  So I went to grab a wet wipe when I saw a little squirt, I yelled for my mom to come and help but before she could reach us, Arlo released full force and started peeing all over!  Now, this is the interesting part, I have always heard of these horror stories and I always figured if that happened to me I would more than likely throw up, but instead I laughed the whole time and I still love him more than ever!  You think I would learn my lesson, but like I said it happened twice!  I really am going to try to be more careful!  Remember I am new at this:)
