Those last posts were not always pleasant, so here's some positives!
Mama's favorites:
I LOVE being a mama. I feel more fulfilled than I have ever felt in my whole life. Especially now that I'm sleeping. :) I love her little smiles. I love hearing her coo in her swing. I love having little conversations with her, when I mimic her little noises. She loves that! I love putting her in the bed with us after that first morning feeding, and snuggling with her for an hour or so before it's time to get up. I LOVE watching William be a daddy. I love hearing him talk to her. I love that she loves her bath, and would stay in it forever -- as long as the water is hot. She is NOT a fan of lukewarm. I love the little noises she makes when she eats. I love how she throws her arm around my shoulder when I'm holding her upright. I love her curly crazy hair. I love her beautiful blue eyes. The little fat rolls shes getting on her little legs make me melt. The back of her neck and head is so sweet. The little dimples in her hands. I.die. The little noises she makes in her basinnet at night that help me sleep more soundly because I know she's still breathing! Also, the way she makes me lean on the Lord more because I am so reminded of how out of control I am. I have to trust him for her every breath. She's such a little miracle, and I am so very thankful!
DADDY'S POST-
I love watching my sweet wife love on our little RK. I love watching RK look to Brittany for nourishment and am reminded of how much we need to lean on the Lord and not ourselves for food. I love giving that little girl a bath and wrapping her up in swaddle blanket. I love her curls and how after she takes a bath she is in the best mood all day. I love that she likes to take baths as much as her mama does. I love that she is 90% on all the dr charts. She is of course 150% in our minds. I love that she smiles while she sleeps and furrows her brow when you talk to her sometimes. I love that she sleeps so long the last few nights and gives Britt some time to recharge. I love her blowouts! (after the fact) I love watching Brittany talk to her and the cute sayings she has for things like "yum-yum". I love her staring at the turtles on her swing for hours on end. I love getting updates while I am at work from RK and getting a daily good morning pic thanks to mama. Most of all I am thankful that she (and we) have been so blessed with her and cant wait to have build more favorites.
Love reading your posts and sweet stories! SO have been there- we called the first month-2 months "survival mode". After that we slowly felt like we knew what we were doing- all to be changed quickly once Ethan changed! :) Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteI love it all too! And yay for swaddle blankets. :)
