In a Whirlwind of Love
Welcome
We are now parents! Our son was born October 3rd. His newborn nature was one of calmness I would say. Well, he was calm as long as his arms were left to cuddle his face. He was swaddled differently than the other babies in the NICU because he just wouldn't have his arms tied down. After a little bout of jaundice, he came home on day 4.
About Him
He was a long baby at birth, 21.5 inches and at his one month appointment, he was classified in the 95th percentile. His long feet and hands are constantly moving no matter if he is in the crib, the swing, or on in your lap.
New Normal
We have been home for eight weeks and everything has been a whirlwind. Babies certainly change a household and our son is no different. He is currently sleeping 4 straight hours at night. Then he wakes for a feeding and a changing then goes back to sleep for another 3-4 hours. That rotation began around week 4 for him. I used a very helpful app. I will provide a review later.
Waiting
We are currently waiting for a full smile. We have never thought that we will get so excited for things that come so naturally! As someone that worked in a day care and a preschool, I am well aware of how much parents think their kid is "special". But, now that I am a parent, I realize that its really just pridefulness. I am proud of each step that he takes on the developmental scale. I feel like I am doing something right.
Blessed
We are truly blessed to have been chosen to parent this baby boy. We we granted the responsibility of caring for this child. We are truly happy to have accepted this path in life. I am in love with my newly changed life. I am love with my husband and his transformation into being a father. I am in love with this baby boy. We are truly Blessed!
Until Next Time,
