Welcome Elijah!

On June 14th, 2014 Dumo and I were blessed to receive a new reason for living. His name is Elijah after the great prophet of the old testament. We know that he too will be great.

It has been the most challenging and yet most rewarding week of my life. We are both getting accustomed to one another and it has been an emotional roller coaster but more than anything I have felt my heart grow every time I look at him. I've experienced a lot of love in my life but I think the love I have for my son may be the most powerful I have yet experienced and it makes me wonder about the kind of love God feels for his children.

It has also taught me a great deal about myself. I've always though of myself as a pretty calm and collected person but if you looked at my behaviour this week you'd probably never know that. I have been a wreck of panic each time he does something unfamiliar which is almost everything since I've never been a mother before. But, I am slowly learning every day and I cherish every moment with him, even the challenging ones.

You guys will have to excuse me for not really posting any pictures I just feel he is too young and it's an area of my life I'm very protective of. However, if you'd like to see some just ask me and I would be happy to send some to you privately.

Well that's all for now loves

Maureen
