My little bear is one month old, I can't believe it. I LOVE being a mom! There aren't words to describe how amazing the love from a baby is. I can't get enough of him looking me in the eyes while I feed him and I melt when he falls asleep on my chest and smiles and coos at me. I could sit there all day just holding him...and I have. :)
The first couple weeks in baby land were a little scary because he is so small and delicate you are afraid you are going to hurt him. Hubby and I are now way more comfortable, but I do still check on him all the time just to make sure he is still breathing and am glued to the baby monitor when I am not next to him. Ahmad and I are kicking butt at this parenting thing. We definitely make a great team and are having so much fun. Even when we are elbow deep in poop...we somehow are able to find the humor in everything.
Right now we don't really have a structured schedule yet. So far, our days have been a cycle of diaper changing, eating and sleeping. Just starting last week, he has been waking up between 7:30am. He gets a new diaper, some milk and then stays awake for a few hours instead of passing out after a feeding like he usually does. It's fun starting to have more play time with him. We will usually play on his gym and do tummy time. Along with being awake in the morning for playtime, Wylan is starting to smile more and coo at us. Talk about adorable! After a couple hours it's back to our diaper, feeding, napping cycle and he always ends his day with his favorite thing... a bath.
Today we had Wylan's 1 month check up appointment and he is looking great so far. Doctor says we have a calm, relaxed and healthy baby. He is weighing in at 9lbs,6oz and is 23 inches long.
All in all, I would say being a parent is a dream come true.
