I realized that I have been posting so many pictures and not saying a lot to go with them. The past two and a half weeks has been a whirlwind. Life has been an adjustment but I would never look back. My two angels have taught me so much.
I am soaking up every moment. Remembering every breathe, sigh, smile and grunt.
These are the moments that I never want to forget. Some say babies don't really smile but that it is rather gas. I know what gas looks like with my baby and let me tell you...it ain't no smile. 
The little corners of her lips raise up with the most beautiful smile you have ever seen. 
It is good for the soul. It takes a tired mind and body and rejuvenates you for whatever lies ahead. She is a lover, a cuddler.
I spent the first two weeks just holding her. This was one of my resolutions that I made for the new year. I did just what I had aimed to do. Life doesn't get much better than that.
She has had her fussy moments with some gas pains but can you blame a little system that has just been thrust into the world and forced to function independently?? Not to mention my over-abundant milk supply. We seem to be leveling out now and after a couple trips to our friend and chiropractor, Kyle, things are going much better.
She is growing and thriving.
Her two week stats are:Weight: 8lbs 8 oz
Height: 20 inches
Head: 14.5 inches
So you ask, is it any better the second time around? Better is not a word that I chose to use. It is different. More relaxed. Taking in every little moment. Less worry. More patience. A better understanding. Trusting your gut. Following your intuition. Not relying on books but rather your own parenting skills. It is different. Much different. I would not change anything about either.
So, the photos are from her two week photo shoot. I just can't stop...
