William Smiles

Yeah!!

Tummy Time

I am amazed at how strong this little guy is already. Well I shouldn't be surprised since he came out lifting his head looking around.

I don't remember Evelynn doing this well with tummy time this early. Guess this guy is ready to go! hehe

One Month

William you are now one month old. How quickly a month has gone by. I know time moves fast but this would have to be the fastest month it has ever moved for me.

What has happened in a month?

You have gained your birth weight back and some. At your one month check up you were 10 pounds 1 oz.

You have rooted yourself more deeply into our hearts…and the hearts of everyone that meets you. A wonderful content baby you are. Hardly fuss and when you do I feel panicked because I am not used to your fussing.

The best little sleeper I have met. So happy with your sleeping habits. I can usually count on a 3 hour stretch at night if not a 4-5. From the star not confused on day and night. I joke you are already a better sleeper then your sister…but it is true. Evelynn still wakes me in the night more often than you.

I think there have been more changes with me this month than with you.

I have become more confident in my parenting. No longer am I worried if I can handle a newborn again. No longer am I dreading sleepless nights (because they are not that bad and I kind of get excited to see your face again and have another little snuggle). I know now I can breast feed, and comfort and really enjoy this time. I am not wishing for tomorrow or the next stage as this is so right, right now.

One armed Pirate

Well...starting to feel that way when it comes to typing. I am getting really good (and fast) at typing with one arm lately. Seems as soon as I put William down he no sooners starts to cry for me wanting to be held. Not a problem...just means I am going to have big muscles on one arm and nimble fingers on the other hehe

I adore my kids. Really amazing gift to be a mother...nothing can top it. How many hours can I bank staring at their beautiful faces? How many smiles and laughs can pass between us. How they make me wonder. How they make me worry hehe. Sometimes they even make me mad, but that is ok. They make me feel.

Sometimes the thought of where would I be passes my mind. Where would I be if I didn't have kids?? What would be different? I have no idea really. I can't even imagine what it would be like (nor do I want t0).

That is amazing. I finally feel I am where I am supposed to be. I finally feel content.
