one week old!

oh,baby wyatt, how much i love you. i had no idea i could love anyone this much! you are my world now and being your mama is the most amazing thing that could have ever happened to me. i am so shocked at how easy taking care of you has been. tiring yes,but worth every second my darling little wonder.

being your momma is the most natural thing i have ever experienced, only was a little nervous after everyone left the hospital and it was just the two of us. i had spent so much of my pregnancy preparing to birth you that i sorta didn't do too much on the "how to take care of an infant" end of things. but alas, we figured things out together within a matter of a day or so. now we are a team and parenting you feels like something i was born to do.

you are such an amazing baby. you came into this world hollering your little head off and healthy as can be. within a few hours of your birth you were lifting your little head and have spent last week perfecting your strength. i attribute this to the fact that i choose to not have any interventions (drugs) during your birth, which we owe tons of thanks to your wonderful aunties who said no to my requests for anything to numb the labor pains i experienced while getting ready to pop you out.

you could work on your sleeping at night a bit more, but i suspect that will come within the next few weeks. some nights you are amazing and only wake a few times for a quick diaper change and snack and others you are pretty restless. still trying to figure out if you're gassy or you just want the lights on to look around at everything. fortunately you sleep with me,so i'm able to assess your needs asap, not to mention cuddle and comfort you on demand.

you have yet to be left alone. you are either on me or right next to me,or in one of your many aunties arms. i never want you to wake and be afraid. i only want you to feel secure as you adjust to this crazy world.

i love you darling boy. i love you more than any words can express and i am so grateful you choose me as your momma.
