Jaxon Thomas

I've been absent from this blog again.  But this time, it's been for good reason, I promise.  

While it's still because I'm too busy, it's a different kind of busy.

I've been a little busy tending to this adorable little baby who has completely stolen my heart.

Born at 36 weeks, after a very sudden and somewhat dramatic and whirlwind experience, we welcomed Jaxon Thomas into the world at 9:54am on Wednesday.  He weighed in at 5 pounds and 11 ounces and was 19.25 inches long.  

I cannot thank those enough for the generosity; be it through the love and support of text messages, emails, and Facebook posts, or those that have helped out with our dogs and home, or bringing us meals.  We are so grateful for the people in our life, near and far.  You've all made this experience that much more special.

Many people have asked for my birth story.  Not just because little man was 4 weeks early, but because those who have seen photos on Facebook and Instagram know that I went straight from my maternity shoot to the hospital and others know Jax spent some time in the NICU.  I promise to write his birth story and post it soon.  Probably after my mother leaves in a week and a half.  Right now, I'm really soaking up every single bit of newborn time as I can.  I'm already so emotional knowing he won't be this tiny forever.  

So excuse me, but I need to go snuggle the crap out of my baby now.
