I can't believe that just 10 short days ago, our lives were forever changed! It has been a whirlwind week and a half! Our parents have all been out to visit and have all returned back home, which is always difficult for me but even more so this time! Eric has returned back to work, for the most part, with a few days off here and there...and all of us treasure those days together! This job is definitely easier with his help! He is truly AMAZING!!!!!
Neva is also amazing!! She makes the funniest faces...even in the middle of the night when we're up for a late night snack! :) She is most content when swaddled. She is nursing like a champ...and we're gettng that figured out together! She is just the cutest, sweetest thing ever! Of course, we are a little biased!
We tried to have a photographer come to the house and do some newborn photos today! Neva was having an eating marathon and then was exhausted, but didn't want to go to sleep, which makes shooting a newborn difficult! Hopefully, we'll get a few good pictures!!
And...we're breaking down and turning our cable back on. I know it's only been a few days, but this mommy needs some background noise!! On the other hand, I am totally enjoying spending my days at home with this little bundle!! It is incredible!
Will post more pics...when we've all gotten a little more sleep!
I want to send a meal- when is a good time to do that?
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to read this update- especially all those exclamation marks! Woo-hoo! Being a mommy is thrilling and beautiful and wonderous and exhausting and amazing and trying and all sorts of things. You are amazing and strong and that little precious princess of yours digs every moment with you.
As for the cable- do what you need to, girl. I certainly won't fault you that. ;-)

Pretty special time. My son turned 24 today, and it seems like just 'yesterday' he was swaddled and little! Same with my daughter, Kelly. You'll have tough days, fun days, sick days, quiet days - you name it....but always try to enjoy. It seems to fly. Remember to have date nights (eventually) and to take care of yourself!
