Oh Amelie. I wish I could say time has flown this past month but it has not. Bringing home a newborn is scary stuff. There is no handbook or guidelines on how to be a good parent. Andy and I were just given you by God to take care of your every need. To say I was anxious was an understatement. Your Marm came all the way from Indiana to see your beautiful face. Her being here for 10 days made everything feel perfect. Any question I had was blurted out immediately because I knew my mom always knew the answer. Marm and your dad stayed up with you at night and only brought you in when you needed fed. You would sleep 3-4 hour stretches, amazing! We had a midwife come named Michelle. She weighed you, poked you, measured you and so much more. Michele eased all my worries with her phenominal medical knowledge. Marm and I laughed a lot because her answers were always, "Well are you breastfeeding," then it's normal....
You don't like being in places for very long because you get bored. You sure do have a nice set of lungs on you :) You go to bed at night around 10:30-11pm. Mommy has always gotten at least 9 hours of sleep a night so she has struggled this past month! You look so much like me, and boy does this make me happy. When I stare at you, I see my twin. I think about all the years we get to spend together and how much fun we will have. I often ask if I have to give you back... Is this real? Do I get you forever?
You hate the stroller (Infant seat)
You love our baby carriers
You hate the bath
You love sleeping
You don't spit up, ever
You hate being held like a baby
You always have to face outward
You already have good neck control
You won't take a pacifier
You love sleeping on your daddy
The love we have for you is unimaginable. We cannot believe you are our daughter. Our hearts explode with love for you. You are our joy. You are our world. We love you miss Amelie.
Until Month two.....
