Garrett
Garrett Mitchell was born at 12:38 PM on Tuesday September 18th, 2007.
He weighed 8.27 Ounces and was 20 and 3/4 inches long.
Our lives are forever changed.
I have never felt such a roller coaster of emotions, nor have I ever been more exhausted. I think I can say the same for Russ.
All the fears I posted in my pregnancy blog have been replaced by new ones. I no longer fear my life changing, or being thought of only as "Mom". Garrett fits in perfectly and we can't imagine life without him. It really does happen like that. My fears now are of being a good enough mom, of being able to protect my son, of ever being able to sleep deeply again... I now always have one ear listening to Garrett.
But, fears seem like a waste of time now. It's much better to spend that time watching Russ burp Garrett, or getting some extra sleep, or washing little socks and hats. I hope this time doesn't go by too fast. It's all so simple and perfect.
My heart has grown. My family has grown. Life is pretty amazing.
