2 Weeks Old!!

Wow! I can't believe our little one is two weeks old already-where have the last two weeks gone?!?! June 25, 2009 was one of the happiest days of our lives when we welcomed William Curtis Clarke into the world at 11:58am. He weighed 6lbs 2oz and every ounce of him stole Mommy and Daddy's hearts instantly. William's delivery was consistant with his pregnancy in that it went smooth and as wonderfully as we could have imagined. My water broke spontaneously at 4am, we were at the hospital by 5:30 with pretty regular contractions (3 cm dilated on first exam), had an epidural that saved my life by 8am, was checked again at 1030 and was 9cm, started pushing at 11:30, and 7 or 8 contractions later we had a son!! I could not believe it was a boy!! Now, two short weeks later I could not imagine anything other than being a Mommy to my son. William is a really sweet baby. He loves to nurse, sleeps well when he wants to be sleeping, and has the cutest facial expressions I have ever seen :) He really only fusses when he is hungry or needs some burping. His biggest task right now is eating and growing. We have taken him on a few adventures in his stroller or sling to some of the local shops and venues that are within walking distance. Each day is a new adventure as he is changing so much day to day-we are on the most wonderful journey of our lives and couldn't be more blessed!!
