Announcing the New Addition to our Family

“A baby is an inestimable blessing”
~ Mark Twain ( 1835 -1910)
Warning: Gushing Mother
I am honoured to share with you that our new addition to our family Kenneth LaRocque Terada, arrived on July 2nd at 7:44 a.m. I can’t describe how much I have fallen in love with him and am in awe with how the love continues to grow each day. I can literally spend hours just staring into his big dark brown eyes and talking with him. Every facial expression sends a shiver of love through my body. (Having a wild imagination of interpreting the little smile of him looking at me, saying I am so happy to be here with you, consciously ignoring that my midwife says the smile is really him having gas
and the opening of his little mouth reaching out for a kiss, the stretch of the arms saying mom, give me a big hug ). All I want to do is spend hours looking at him. I catch myself in the morning, when I awake before he does, wanting to wake him up so we can play. I have quickly realized some of the most valuable advice I was given was when he is sleeping mom needs to rest!
Who would of thought an overachiever who in the past has missed very few days without having her priority of a ‘to do’ list front and centre, would be content holding her baby, breastfeeding, changing diapers and napping throughout the day.
I can’t wait to be a witness to the rest of his life. It is truly my honor and a gift from God. Every day I count my blessings. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

simply precious. I am so glad to hear your loving words…I was a little worried you wouldn’t know how to slow down…hahahaha!
enjoy those early morning quiet hours…so precious and fly by so quickly.
if you begin to feel that any of this is challenging…remember that it all gets better after the 3rd month…and better and better!
