It gets easier









The first few weeks of being a mom were tough--wonderful but tough. Waking up in the night 3 or 4 times to feed him and not really sleeping that well in between made for some tired days. The last two weeks have been quite a bit easier, with Collin giving Sean a bottle once in the night and me only having to get up once with him. Just getting more sleep makes everything easier. Sean is a great sleeper now. He takes a three hour nap in the afternoon with some other shorter naps throughout the day. Last night I put him down for bed at 9:30 and he slept all the way till 4:30. I was ecstatic!!! He is still growing like crazy! At 4 weeks, he was 12 pounds, 2 ounces--and growing out of all his clothes. I've already got a few 3-6 month outfits out for him to wear.




I told my mother in law the other day--everytime I pick him up--I melt just a little bit!! I just adore him and feel so blessed!!

The Hungry Man

I can't believe he is almost a month old. The time just flies by. He is a little angel--already a great sleeper and so much fun. Smiled at me for the first time on Thursday. Can't wait till he does it all the time. Being a mom is absolutely amazing!! Who knew you could love someone so much!!
