Happy Due Date Darren

November 27 was Darren's 3rd anticipated due date, after admitted to the hospital. This past Monday marked Darren's 2nd anticipated due date, January 5th, my scheduled c-section. Today marks Darren's original due date, January 8th. Let's just say, we.are.not.in.control. and I am so glad!!

Today Darren is 7 weeks and 2 days old! 

I can't even begin to express how thankful I am for our little boy, he brings us so much joy. And already I love love love having a son. And Winnie has been such a sweet, tender big sister. I truly look forward to when they can interact together. But for now, these days are extremely sweet because I get to cuddle him all the time. *my fave*

Since it's Ds due date I thought I'd share photos from his birth to now. It's amazing how little he was and how much he's grown.
