I am a little late to the party, but to be honest, that first month after bringing little man home was a liiiiitle crazy, (that may be the understatement of the year), and I didn't have a chance to blog. But that first month was so life changing, I decided I have to blog about it so we can always remember it.
It is true what they say, those first few weeks are Survival Mode, and I couldn't agree more. Those first couple weeks I was averaging about 3 hours of sleep a night. For some reason that first week Miles did not want to sleep AT ALL during the night. We were so tired that we were able to take naps during the day with him, but there really is no tired like "new parent" tired. I would send my mom pictures and she waited to tell me weeks later that I had 'triple bags under my eyes,' (her words, not mine). But looking back on that first month, and despite how tired I was, it still is amazing to me how tiny he was, how snuggly he was, and how my heart was changed forever. I never knew that I was capable of loving someone as much as I love Miles. I've heard it all my life, that you never really know unconditional love until you have kids, and I now understand what they were talking about. I count my blessings every day that God was so good to us, blessing us with a pregnancy, and a healthy baby. It is something I will be grateful for every day of my life.
