The List
by Erin Hamilton Mason

There’s a list on my table of things to be done,
there is laundry to fold, and errands to run,
a letter of thanks I’ve been meaning to write,
a stack of old papers to put out of sight,
there is dinner to plan, I should get to the store,
but I still haven’t showered, and it’s almost four,
the weeds must be picked, the furniture dusted,
the vacuuming done, the sprinklers adjusted,
the dishes are piling quite high in the sink,
and the printer for days has been flashing “low ink”,
the car is on empty, the milk’s almost gone,
the light I just changed in the hall won’t turn on,
there are phone calls to make, there are bills still to pay,
my body is willing, and yet kept at bay
by the sweet little angel, his face softly glowing,
who dreams in my arms, without even knowing
the peace that he brings me, how heaven draws near,
and things of eternity all become clear:
that I am a mother, my calling divine,
of highest importance in the grand design,
and though obligations and chores can’t be missed,
holding my baby is first on my list.

Life so far

Let me start by saying how wonderful it feels having our baby boy home. It's been 2 weeks now and I can honestly say I have never felt so complete in my life. The lord has truely blessed Ryan and I in so many ways. Just 16 months ago I was a patient in the ccu on a ventilator. I remember telling Dr. Pirtle right before he intubated me that I couldn't die yet I hadn't married Ryan or had babies yet. Shortly after I became healthy again Ryan proposed and I said yes! We had the perfect wedding then the lord blessed us with our son. We weren't planning on becoming pregnant but the lord's timing is perfect and I wouldn't change a thing. I am so thankful for my husband, baby and both of our families. Hope everyone has a happy Easter.

Notables
* Wyatt is eating almost 3oz at a time
* His eyes are looking more and more blue each day
* His favorite place to sleep is on his belly laying on mine or
Ryan's chest
* I have to change his clothes and diapers more than I ever expected!
