-I am starting to rock the art of one handed typing.
-Abram loves to pee on his daddy. This makes me laugh.
-I used to think I was a worry wart... then I had a baby... along with a new definition to the word "worry."
-My body feels inclined to start weeping whenever Joel says things like, i'm so proud of you, he is the most amazing baby, you have a little smear of poop on your chin. Hormones, why do you plague me so?
-We had our first doctor's appt. Tuesday. The thought that ran through my head that morning was how will we even go about getting three of us ready in the morning?!? And then we got there 10 min. early :) Go team!
-Did not know I could go this long on such little sleep.
-The highlight of our day is when Abram eats well and has a good poopy diaper. We're his biggest fans.
-Nothing compares to the sound of his cooing, the precious moments when he just stares at me in the early morning hours, the adorable kissy lips he forms when he is hungry and how perfectly content I am when he sleeps on my chest. We are still adjusting to life with a baby, sometimes I'll look down and still be a bit suprised there is a baby in my lap. This new life is a little overwhelming, but what overwhelms me most is that God chose to bless us with THIS child. Everyday i fall more in love.
Abram's birth story coming soon!
Haha, I agree with this so much. I used to think I worried too much but now that worry has skyrocketed to the extreme. Congrats again, he is adorable! So tiny!
ReplyDeleteSo so so adorable!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy "babies" are 17 and 20.....the worrying for them never stops. And the love grows every day!
ReplyDeleteHe is so perfect! I loved reading this - good for you for going so long without sleep! I honestly don't know how new mothers do it!:)

ReplyDeleteevery single bit of this is 100% true. I love it! Congrats on your boy!
ReplyDeleteAwww. Abram is indeed a blessing,he is such a cutie. I can feel your happiness while reading this. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's tough to be a mom,but it's glad to know that you're just doing fine. :)
You are doing so well to even be back on the computer! Loving following your story, must remember not to be impatient though, my little man will arrive when he is ready. (must keep telling myself this)
ReplyDeleteThat newness that you are experiencing..you will cherish all those beautiful/crazy memories forever. I still remember the smells and the way I felt..The way my baby squirmed and puckered his lips, his high pitch baby bird cry...the way his legs curled up tightly to his body like a little frog, breastfeeding--- those first few weeks were challenging to get the hang of it, not getting a stitch of housework done, hoping I remembered to eat or drink, jammies being the new wardrobe of choice, ahhh...all memories I cherish and ache to feel again. I am so happy that you get to feel and experience those...God surely is great!
ReplyDeleteCallie, he is a beautiful child and I cannot wait to meet him. Thank you for sharing him with us through this blog. Much love to my "third" daughter.
