A year ago today we were anxiously awaiting the arrival of our son!! We didn't know what he would look like, what his personality would be, or how his sister, a baby herself, would handle this huge new change! We felt worried and excited, nervous and blessed all at the same time!! We never even imagined that God would have SUCH a blessing in store for us!!!
Zachary David Jenkins was born on August 11th at 8:13a.m.!! I got to be awake during his c-section so Wyatt and I got to hear every first little sound he made!!! He was pretty big at 8 pounds and 13 ounces, but he still looked so tiny!!! As soon as I saw him, I knew he was going to change our lives forever!!! He had a hard time keeping his body temperature up after he was born, so I got to have special skin to skin time with him for the first several hours of his life!! He snuggled right in and we started our life together!!
When my mom brought Maddie in to meet her brother for the first time, her expression was PRICELESS!!!! :) It was kind of a mixture of excitement and "What the heck is going on here? Mom, why are you in bed and WHO IS THAT!?!?!" She climbed on my lap and "held" her brother as well as a 12 and a half month old could!! Her and my mom came to visit everyday, and each day she liked him more and more!! She wanted to see his hands and feet, his toes and fingers!!! She thought he was pretty cool, until he came home with us!! :):)
Zack is the sweetest baby boy!! And, he is the perfect addition to our family!! He is fun and smiley and happy and sweet! He is for sure a BOY! He likes to get into everything, he is an adventurer! He loves for you to "get" him and chase after him! He adores his family, especially his sister!! He chases her around and she giggles at him with so much joy and love! I was SO nervous about having kids so close together (..there are still days my friends, that I wonder!:):)) BUT, I can already tell that Maddie and Zack are going to be BEST friends!!! They LOVE to hang out together!! They always have to know where each other is...and if one of them is sad, the other one wants to love on them!! They are learning and growing every day, we are AMAZED at what they pick up from one another!! We are so excited for this year and all that it will bring!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZACK!!!!!!!!!! WE LOVE YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH!!!
