Our Surprise

Shane has turned out to be the most wonderful surprise that I could never have imagined! The pregnancy was a surprise for sure, but his place in our family now seems so perfect and necessary that it had to have been planned. Of course it was planned...just not by us! Shane had the cutest little rolly-polly body with such perfectly delicate features. He makes the most adorable little squeaking sound when he nurses that I am sure wakes John up at night (but I don't think he minds). Shane doesn't like getting his diaper changed and gets mad when he is cold, but his cries are short lived. He doesn't fuss when the boys smother him with WAY TOO MUCH attention and get in his face and pile toys all over his body. I love to smell Shane's sweet little breath and listen to him breathe when I am burping him especially when he turns his face toward mine and cuddles his face up in my neck. He is so special and unique and still full of mystery and unlimited potential that I can hardly remember life without him. Shane is the last link in our family...he completes us... and we couldn't be more surprised...or any happier!
