I haven't written in about a month... but now things are getting exciting- so I have something to write about! I know Ben has posted his sentiments about Archie, now it is my turn. He is amazing, he makes me feel elated when I see him, he also makes me weepy and overwhelmed with love- I want to give him everything he needs, protect him from anything that is harmful, cuddle with him every time he cries. He doesn't cry that much, he squeaks and whimpers more-- it is too adorable to be upset with.
I just don't know how to fully articulate the range of emotions that go along with caring for, being responsible for and loving this little boy. It is scary at times, but I think that is why God gives us such an unexplainable ability to instantly love these little people, they need us, we need them, and life just wouldn't feel right without him, now that he is here.
My mom has been here, thank goodness, to help and lend support. Ben and I are very thankful for her and her time-- she is a genius too. We needed to run some errands, and Ben was home with Archie, but he was upstairs and Archie's room is downstairs, and I just wasn't ready to leave him on his own in a room, so my mom put together a makeshift bed in our laundry basket and we brought Arch to Ben! He didn't move the entire hour and a half that we were gone, he was just cuddled in his basket- perfect solution.
I can't wait to introduce little Arch to all of you, and I can't wait for all of you to be a part of his life. Thank you for all the support and encouragement, and your love.
