One week ago I was looking at my sweet baby boy for the first time. Today I'm still in awe. This past week has been incredible. I am exhausted but so happy. Sam is amazing me every day. Breastfeeding has been my biggest challenge with this little man. He cries when I try to feed him and for the first few days I had to be very creative trying to get him latched on and eating. Today we he made the biggest leap. He is nursing unassisted. I am so grateful. My mom is still here for a few more days and she has been an incredible help. She has cooked our meals, done our laundry, cleaned our house, and offered words of encouragement as I run through the dialogue that I'm sure every new mother is familiar with -
" am I feeding my baby enough?"
" why isn't he eating?"
" should he be sleeping this much?"
.... and so on.
I love my mom.
I have seen such a sweet side of Mike as well. His face lights up whenever he sees his little guy. At night when Sam wakes up, Mike (who treasures his sleep!) will gently rock Sam and give him hugs and kisses. He is so loving with him and shows his love and gratitude to me as I try my best at mothering. I love Mike so much.
Life is fantastic.
