Today, sir, you are one week old. I know that doesn't seem like a very long time. And really, it's not - that time has flown by. And yet, it seems like you've been with us forever. In these few short days, you've already been such a joy to our family.
It is still a little amazing to me that your little body, though tiny, fit inside mine. You're ours! It is also incredible to me that immediately upon entering this (probably somewhat scary) world, you trusted us so completely to care for you and love you. Thanks for loving us in return.
Of course we're proud of your 4-hour stretches of sleep at night, your adorable little smiles, and your head lifts. We love how calm you get when we cuddle, how much you like being close to Daddy in the Snugli, and the fact that you gained 13 ounces in 4 days (the pediatrician asked if we'd been feeding you hamburgers). Most of all, though, we're proud of your sweet spirit and are grateful for the love that you bring to our home. We love you, bud.
love,
mama

Isn't it weird (and wonderful) to be mama?
Beautiful little boy. I hope we get to meet him sometime.
Adorable. I love him.
Precious! I want to see more pics!!
I adore all three of you. Immensely.
I want to snuggle with Nat. Is that weird?
What a cutie! Have you told him about his best friend/missionary companion to be yet?
Oh Preethi, this brought tears to my eyes. I am so happy for you.
I hope you're feeling good, and that your body is healing, and that you are able to relax and be taken care of as you welcome your little boy and adjust to a new life. LOVE YOU!
I love this boy already!!
So cute! I am so happy for you guys!
It IS amazing how much they trust their parents right off the bat. It's like they don't really understand what's going on in their new scary world, so they cling on to their mom and dad to get through it.
Do you ever let Nathanael just lie down on top of you while you rub his back? That's my favorite! Can't get enough of that. Oh, and the yawns? And the snorts? And the faint little cries? You're so lucky to have a newborn!
