1 week old



This past week was a big one!
 Mav met lots of friends and family this week!
He had his first doctor appointment and weighed 7 lbs. 5 oz. last Wednesday. 
We went on quite a few outings...probably more than we should have (mom is tired).
Thursday daddy went back to work. 

Likes:
Eating...a lot
hanging out in his mamaroo bouncy seat 
pulling hair
listening to music

Dislikes:
Bath time
Getting his diaper changed

This week:
You taught me what real physical pain is...but it was so worth it.
You have made my love for your daddy grow even more...he was amazing during my labor and now  as he helps take care of me and you.
You have taught me that i don't really need even close to 8 hours of sleep each night to function the next day.
You are teaching me to be more present...some things are just not as important as I thought they once were.
You have taught me that before you...there was no reason not to be on time places...now days i need to give myself some slack.
You have taught me to love my body and appreciate what the world tells me are "flaws". Its really cool what a woman's body can do from pre-baby to postpartum...not all of it is pretty but it makes you appreciate the body God gave you...especially when that same body was one I disliked some days because it was crooked from scoliosis and"broken" because it wouldn't let me have a baby on my timing...I am learning to love it with all its imperfections. God knows what he is doing.
