One Week

Today Eliza is one week old. She is eating, sleeping, and keeping smiles on all our faces. Its been three years since I've had a newborn, and I've forgotten a lot of little details like getting the routine back of changing diapers, bathing, and getting her dressed. And I forgot how much laundry and bottle washing you can do for such a little one. Not too mention I've learned that I love sleep. I've also been reminded how much I miss the little curled up bug lying on you chest, the smell of a newborn, the soft noises they make, watching them smile while they sleep and wondering what they are thinking, and even though it takes an extra forty minutes to get ready and the lack of sleep you get, they are so worth every moment! I love watching Finley with her and wanting to help. It's so nice to have a little helper who will go get the diapers and wipes, get the blanket and if Eliza's crying, she looks at you and says 'oh mama, that's sad.' Life is full of changes and new adventures, and I look forward to all of them with my little family of four!


They really do love each other
