Merry Christmas everyone!!!
This is my first post since giving birth to Connor (I thought I would let everyone know that I am doing well). Today is Christmas and we have had a great day showing Connor off to all of my family who haven't met him yet. Of course, they thought he was adorable and said he looked just like me. It is kind of comical, because everyone on Brads side of the family say he looks just like him! Only time will tell... He definitely has both of our features.
Anyway, the baby and I are doing well. I am starting to be able to move around better now. I am still taking pain medication but, I feel SO much better now that I am home. Connor is a GREAT baby!! He sleeps, eats, and poops (all in this order). He only cries occasionally when I change a diaper. (At this very moment, I am knocking on wood hoping I am not jinxing myself!) For the first three days of Connors life we didn't know what his cry sounded like because he never made a peep! How did I get so lucky? Anyway, he is nursing well and only wakes me up twice during the night. Last night he had a 5 hour stretch that he let me sleep! He knew his Mommy needed her rest after Christmas Eve. We had a wonderful time last night having a steak dinner prepared by my Mom, and Aunt Linda. It was great!! Thank you all so much for everything you did to make our evening special! It was good to be able to spend Christmas with my Aunt Linda and Uncle Ron who moved here from NY just this past year and we look forward to many more as Connor continues to grow up!
I titled this post "The Best Christmas Present Ever!" because I have truly been blessed by God by making me Connors Mommy! As Mom said, he is a little miracle! It is so incredible to look into his eyes and know that I was a part of creating him and bringing him into the world! I never thought that motherhood would be this great!
Well, I am going to try to take a Christmas nap as Connor is now asleep. I hope everyone has a blessed Christmas! I will post some pictures that were taken today. Happy Holidays!!!

Hi you two, I just love the ictures--he is so so pescious. Like Lacy said, keep the pictures coming. Can you take a picture of Ron and Linda holding him also? That would be so special to me too. Love and miss you ALL very much. Love, Grandma Hill
