You've arrived!! You were born on Tuesday, December 17th at 10:57am. You were 7lbs 4oz at birth. Such a big boy! When you were born every joy and relief that you were safe and with me poured out of me in tears. I held you tightly to my body as I cried and cried and cried. I was so happy to have you finally in my arms!
Your daddy looked over at me shortly after your birth. He had amazement, joy, and pride in his eyes as he looked at you. He asked me, "What do you think for a name?"
My head ran through all the names we've considered for you during my pregnancy with you but none of them seemed to fit. When suddenly it came to me.
"How about Noel? Noel Thomas." I stated.
Your dad smiled at me and responded, "Yeah, I like that. Noel."
And it was decided. :)
You are our Christmas present this year and we couldn't have asked for anything better. Our little Christmas baby. <3
It was snowing ! The day you were born there was a beautiful layer of snow outside and it continued to drift from the sky the whole day of your birth. Noel fit perfectly. You are perfect. <3
(Edit: Your daddy wants me to add that it's duly noted that you were also born on a full moon - he loves werewolves. So, he was quite excited by that fact. Maybe he'll call you his little werebaby. ;) )
You are 3 days old now and about 5.1/2 hours old. :) All you've really been doing is nursing, sleeping, peeing, pooping, and cuddling :D. I like the last one the most and then nursing is second. But you're amazing. So far, you are such a good boy. Such a good little one. You even know my voice. My quiet shhh's and my voice saying, "Mommy's here. I'm right here." soothes you in an incredible way. Our bond is so strong. I couldn't feel happier than I do right now. I have you and your sister and your absolutely amazing daddy !! I love our family and I'm happy that you've come to join us. <3
I love you Noel. I love you to Pluto and back. :) I love you more than you could ever know.
I will always be here for you. Whenever you need me know that I will always be here with a loving heart and a helping hand. For such a teeny tiny baby - I can tell you that you've certainly stolen your mommy's heart. :)
I promise you that I will do my very best in raising you. I will give my 100% everyday to the best of my ability in being your mommy. I hope that one day you love who you become due to my love, comfort, and support. <3
<3 My sweet little Noel,
Love, your mommy. <3
Your sister loves you so very much. And so does your daddy. :)
