Reflecting- June 4, 2012

As I reflect over the last month without our little Wyatt I am reminded of the joy he brought to Justin and me. He made our lives complete if only for the 28 days he was here with us. He made us better people and stronger together. He brought us happiness beyond measure. He made us grow even closer to our father in heaven. 


I reflect about the good things that came from our little man... he was so precious and beautiful. He loved to have his little legs and hands rubbed. We loved doing this for him... he would completely relax and kick his little legs straight out and his hands would wave up in the air and once we started to rub them for him they would relax and open up completely.They had a thing at the hospital called Freddie the Frog that Wyatt loved... it was a bean bag thing that propped him up on his tummy so that he could  sleep like that... he loved it when we put him on it. He loved having his head stroked... his hair was always so slicked to his head because everyone that came to see him could not resist his full head of beautiful hair and stroking it on his perfect little head. He loved to be sung to... if he was crying it would put him right to sleep. He loved to hear his daddy, when Justin would come into the room the monitors would show Wyatt's heart rate go up and he would move his little head back and forth and try to focus on where Justin was in the room when he was talking to Wyatt. He loved to be held and snuggled by all of us...he would go right to sleep and as soon as we put him down he would make a sad little face and of coarse we would pick him right back up and take turns until he feel asleep again. He loved skin to skin with me and I did with him as well... he would get so comfy that sometimes he would even drool a little and I savored every minute of it. He loved the time we got to take him outside.. He breathed deep to take in the fresh air and did his "bunny nose" the whole time we were outside. He loved bath time so much that every time we gave him one within 2 minutes in it he would pee and when we took him out he would cry so loud ( he never cried much only when we put him down after holding him and when we took him out of the bath). He loved his little stuffed animal buddies that family brought him, especially a little angel lamb that Justin bought him for Easter that played "You are my Sunshine" when you pressed it's wings and a Precious moment baby  boy, that my Aunt Jody and Uncle Bob gave him. that would pray for him when you pressed it's little hands, Wyatt would just stare at it. He loved all his grandparents who would talk to him and love on him when they came to visit him... He will always be LOVED.

There is so much more that I remember that were beautiful moments with my little monkey that I will cherish and hold close and today has been a good day because I have these memories to reflect on and hold in my heart. I am so grateful for every minute we had with him and all the things we were able to experience. It truly was a blessing and today I am reminded of how lucky I am to have had him choose me to be his mom and Justin to be his dad.
