8 weeks old
Today our little guy is 8 weeks old. We are amazed each day how strong he is and how big he is. Last appointment he was 12 lbs 5 oz.. We don't think he is going to shrink.. His newborn jammies are too small and he has graduated to some of his 3-6 month clothes. At this rate who knows what he will weigh when we bless him in April. We decided to wait to bless him so Aaron's parents can be here. They are being released from their mission in Russia at the end of March. In Grandma Page's last email she said she can't wait to get her hands on him!

Love
I
never knew how much I could love someone. When I married Aaron I experienced a new kind of love and didn't think that I could ever love anything more. Each day I grow to love Aaron more and more . I can't imagine life without him. When we had Austin I learned a whole new kind of love. Aaron and I will just look at Austin and realize how blessed we are to have him in our lives. This experience has given me a whole new appreciation for my birth mother. I have a hard time being away from Austin while I am in the bathtub, I don't know what it would be like to have to not see him every second of the day.
People tell you that motherhood changes you, I never knew it would be like this. I wouldn't give this up for anything. There are a few things I have had to give up like a doing my hair and make up on a daily basis, but I when I realize that Austin is totally dependant on me, I don't mind slacking in my appearance. My sweet husband tells me I look good everyday... sometimes I know he is stretching the truth but it is sweet of him to say it.
