Comin' up for air-

I love this baby. In all the chaos and sibling rivalry and flying sippy cups and "mine" tantrums that come up in my home, he has been the most calming, soothing, and tender baby. I have sincerely not minded being up with him for feedings at night. (Every 3 hours like clockwork- with no effort on my part.) I entirely believe him to be one of my most heaven sent blessings- one that I really really hoped and prayed for. Each time. But most desperatly this time. A baby that would not cry and be too complicated. I just could not manage. Maybe, he will change. But, right now, I cannot get enough of him- even though he banged up my tailbone good. (I told Ryan, maybe...another? 2? like him?)

Oh Lacey, I just can't get over how gorgeous he is! I'll keep you in my prayers, specifically that he will continue to be a mellow little guy! I miss you!!!

Lacey-
He is the cutest little baby. I just love little boys. I couldn't get enough of Seth. I'm sure you have heard this so many times, but I see a little Tanner in Jackson. Seth and Abigail have been easier to manage. I think that sometimes it has to be that way if we as mothers are going to continue to have babies. I too hope that his gentle personality will continue and give the balance that you need in your family.

Yea! I'm glad my kids can't read because they are watching me type this, but I felt a very similar special something about my #4. I love, love, love holding him. Even with how difficult it was and is caring for 4, I have had such special memerable moments with him. I hope yours continue.

Heavenly Father KNEW that you needed an easier baby, or maybe Jackson is just making up for all the drama he caused while he was inside you?

Seriously!! Its about time! Not that your other children are not loved and special, but it was just time!

I love the last comment. I think you should have at least 8. :) I'm so happy he's a good baby. Those are the best, they make the recovery that much better.
