So, it's hard to believe it, but Alex is already 10 weeks old. Our lives are completely different and yet so much the same and most importantly there is something about how Alex fits into our life that is just perfect. While his arrival might not have followed my perfect vision, I certainly wouldn't trade the end result for anything.
Things I know...
- We have changed lots of diapers
- We have washed countless loads of tiny clothes and diapers
- I have spent days of my life breastfeeding and pumping, literally days!
- We have spent hours walking, bouncing, dancing and wiggling around our house
- A smile or giggle from Alex immediately melts our hearts...
Things I still don't know...
- Why hiccups happen...
- How such a tiny thing can make such large noises and messes...
- When I will truly be recovered from my C-section
- How I will be able to survive missing out on all the little things that will happen when I am back at work...
I have cherished (almost) every moment I have had at home with Alex, and to any new mom who can I highly recommend taking as much time at home with your baby as you can. I didn't even feel like myself for at least 6 weeks and so it has just been the last few weeks I have really been out and about and enjoying mommy and Alex time.
I can't believe how much he is growing and changing every day and I am always wondering what he is thinking. Before I know it, he'll be telling me...and then I might wish I didn't know!! At any rate, our family is doing great and I am sure we will do fine transitioning me back to work and Alex to day care...but prayers for us starting the week of November 7th would be appreciated. I feel like if we get through the first week we will be ok!! :)
