You are one week old already, and I have to tell you, this past week has been the best week of my life. I love you more than you can even imagine and I'm so happy that God chose me to be your mother. At the hospital last Wednesday, time went by so slowly while I waited to meet you. I thought the moment would never come where I would get to hold you in my arms. But now I get to hold you all the time, and I feel so complete. You've already grown so much in just this first week of life. You're so alert and I know you're absorbing everything around you. You nurse like a pro and love a nice long nap.. several of them. But come morning time, you're more awake than ever and just want to stretch out and stare at your mama and papa. We are having such a great time being your parents. I knew that I loved you, I always knew that I loved you.. but I couldn't have ever guessed that I would love you this much once you were here.
*You nurse so well and love to eat!
*You can lift your head when laying on mama's chest or on your tummy. You could do this from the very night you were born. They placed you on my chest and you lifted your head with those big bright wide eyes of yours and just stared at me. My heart melted right then and there!
*You only cry when you need something - a change of diaper, some milk or an extra tight swaddle... You're such a good baby! I feel so blessed.
