Being a mom!

On June 6th, 2011, after 35 1/2 hrs. of exhausting labor, I became a full blown MOM!







Bert Ray Page arrived at 1:31 pm weighing 6 lbs. 5 oz. and was 19.5 inches long.


The most amazing moment was when the nurses laid him on my chest and you could see it in his eyes that he knew I was his mommy when I spoke my first words to him outside the womb. It was so beautiful!


He is a cute little boy and has brought so much happiness to my life.


Some of my favorite things:




  • the noises and moaning when he eats. So cute!


  • the little chunk of hair on his left ear.


  • the blonde, thick, silky hair on the back of his head.


  • his amazing smile!


  • when he thinks my cheek is a nipple! LOL


  • how much he loves his Daddy.


  • when he does one load scream out of the blue and makes me jump.


  • how long it takes for him to open his eyes when he is waking up,


  • when he falls asleep while I burp him.


  • how he already grabs my hair and pulls it.


I COULD GO ON AND ON AND ON! I am so happy I had a boy and now I want my next baby to be a boy also.



I do really really miss a good nights sleep and the weight I used to be. Someday hopefully soon.



He is now in a size 1 diapers and 3 month clothing. He eats alot and is growing so fast, weighing almost 9 lbs. We are also putting rice cereal in his formula bottles. It helps him pass bowl movements because the Zantac he takes for reflux makes it hard for him to pass a bowel movement.



He has probably recieved over 20,000 kisses on his face and head because he is so kissable and his mom, dad, and grandma's just can't help it! Thanks goodness for grandma's! They have done so much for us and are always visiting and helping out. We are truely blessed with all our friends and family helping us out all the time.
