note: i took this picture last sunday morning to send to my mom, who assured me that these baby zits are not any worse than your average baby zit. and sorry about my foot...cracked heal and all...i have different priorities now.it's true. for the first six weeks of this kid's life, she had me terrified. really, i've been a wreck. why was she crying? why!? i never knew when it would start and how long it would last, and most importantly, why oh WHY was it happening!? and just to be clear, she didn't even cry very much. but when she did, i knew i was powerless. i'm happy to announce that we have turned a corner! she's like a real person now! she sleeps and eats and poops just like always...but then....wait for it........she wakes up! and when she's awake, she's like REALLY awake...and when i look at her and say stuff (in a voice i usually reserve for my dog), she responds with smiles and grunts and maybe even a burp if i'm especially lucky. it's amazing! those of you who have kids know about that feeling you get when they first smile at you. people tried to tell me about it, and i just didn't really understand until it actually happened.
oh and as an aside....she slept from 10pm to 5am last night. parenthood! there's hope!
I am really glad she slept for you. It will give me hope when my little people show up.
ReplyDeleteI love this moment! I have been waiting for it for you since I had my first. I couldn't wait to see you as a Mom. There really is nothing better when you realize WHY you exist by just looking at them.
ReplyDeleteso cute. i have a feeling those little things are really scary until you get the hang of it. she's lucky to have such a cool mama bird.
