Augustus John Capua
nov. 6, 2009
7 lbs 11 oz
19 3/4 in.
Proud Papa- Chris Capua
Glowing Mama-Azy Capua

This beautiful new addition to the Capua family had me
remembering some of the emotions I felt with my new babies-

The relief when baby is finally here crying, and I am not pregnant anymore.
The astonishment of "How crazy! I just made that!"
The peace that comes when cuddling and snuggling.
The exhaustion of sleeping no more than 2 1/2 consecutive hours for months on end.
The concerns with the 1st-
will she be pretty? will she be smart? will she conquer the world?
The concerns with the 4th-
will he really be a boy? will he fit in with our family? will I accidentally leave him on the front porch?
The increase of love for my husband every time I watch him pour over his new child.
The confusion of sobbing uncontrollably one moment and laughing hysterically the next.
The feeling of walking on clouds for the first few months.
The inability to hold this person without covering them in kisses!
The sorrow for the moments that have already passed.
The excitement of the moments that lay ahead.

Isabelle, Ryker, Esther, and Rocco-
You are everything I could ever hope for.
Thank you for coming to my family!
