It feels like just yesterday that I was scowling at the labor and delivery nurse for not taking my contractions seriously. Our bags in our arms, standing in front of the counter, I must have looked too relaxed. I wasn't. I was just ready to finish being pregnant. And I wanted to get started. Who wouldn't, really? Just look what I took home!
He still makes that face, except he is usually trying to shove something in his mouth.I can't believe it's been six months. With Lucas, those first six months seemed to go slowly, waiting for and watching every milestone. I was learning how to be a parent and so wrapped up in all the shoulds and shouldn'ts of sleep, feeding, diapering, and more that I don't think I appreciated the newborn phase as much as I should have. With Nathan, it's been completely different. I have stared into his face every day and seen the miracle of life that he is. I have thanked God and my husband for giving me such a precious boy. I have held him and rocked him to sleep, knowing that he might be my last little baby. I don't want him to grow up. Not yet. But he already is. The newborn is gone, and in its place is a sweet, chubby, smiley boy that loves his mama and just wants to eat and play all day long. I am so proud of him, and so proud to be his mom!
Nathan is soo cute! I also feel like Bailey is growing soo quickly, I am trying to savor all those precious moments :)! Nice Post, I think these updates are great for them to read about later!
