My lil' loverbucket

Can I just tell you all how much I am in love with my boys? It's still funny for me to say that...my boys. I have a son! What?! Outrageous! I would love to sit here and verbally throwup all my thoughts...but seeing as Derrick is feeding Jude...and it's 11:10pm...and we need to sleep here soon...I just thought I'd do a little update.

Things I love about Jude:
* His Popeye face he makes when he's searching for food
* Cuddling at 5am- to make him go to sleep
* His smell- even the stinky one...
* His soft hair
* When he randomly "smiles"
* That he'll still latch on...even though nothing's coming out (sorry to the boys reading...er)
* His little sneeze
* When he responds to daddy's voice when he's home from work
* When he appears to be listening when I'm talking
* When he passes out to listening to me talk!!! lol
* How he puts his fist up to his face when he's eating...like he's thinking about something
* How much he enjoys bath time

oh...I could go on and on...

You know...they say that you fall in love w/ your spouse all over again when you have a kid. I did when I found out I was pregnant. I was waiting for that moment again when Jude was born. I couldn't believe how much more I could love Derrick by watching him w/ our son. He's such a good dad. He's an even better husband. I don't know that I could do this without him. I'm so thankful that he was able to spend the first 2 weeks off w/ me. He took such good care of us- (even when he was playing Mario Kart for hours a day!!!) ;)

Things I love about Derrick:
* He'll drop everything he's doing to help me out
* He believes in me and reassures me when I don't believe in myself
* When he's talking to Jude and says "Yes!" (you just have to hear it...it's wicked cute)
* That he'll change poopy diapers- reluctantly. LOL
* That he'll wake up at 1am just to keep me company
* His patience
* How much he loves his son

...oy...I'd better stop before I start crying. I'd like to keep that at a minimal tonight! :)

Writing this blog makes me think of the Grays. I'm so excited for Heidi to experience all these emotions with Harrison and Michael. I can't wait for them to get back from Utah so that Jude and Harry can meet! Oy. I'd better stop talking about that too- b/c that is a surefire way to get me cryin'! (We're prayin' for you, Grays!)

Anywho- gotta go- Derrick is waiting w/ Jude at the changing table. It's a stinker- and thus mom needs to come to the rescue!

Before I go...Anyone have advice on Jude's fussy time? From like...5:30pm-8pm?! He's not dirty. He's not hungry. But man can he scream and cry! (This is a new occurence- and I'd love for it to stop!)
