Samuel Joseph Savery was 3 weeks early by the doctors count, but he came right when God intended him to.
Now we are learning to be parents... This is by far the biggest challenge of my life. Joe is a wonderful father. He works all day (and part of the night) then comes home and lovingly cuddles/cares for his son. He is a natural parent, easing into his role.
I only wish I could find this natural ease to my motherly duties. After Samuel was born, I felt, like most new mothers, confused and completely unsure of myself. I had no clue how to care for this tinny little human being that was totally dependent on me! I have spent the last three weeks learning what is means to be a mom. Sleepless nights, tears, and no time to do anything. But it also means joy beyond words, growing closer to my husband, and seeing God work in ways i have never thought possible. I know the next 18+ years will present even more challenges that I am not ready to face. But God is ready. I take complete comfort in knowing his perfect plan brought us Samuel.
