You are one month old today! In some ways it is hard to believe that a month has already passed since it seems like I have lived one long continuous day since you were born. And in other ways- I have a million new memories and again feel like a new person than I was before. I have learned that I still lose my patience after five straight minutes of crying, I have learned that the pain of starting breastfeeding is very emotional and a battle that I know I will win but I would rather not have to fight. I have learned that I in fact can love a new someone as much as I loved Jack and dad- it doesn't even seem hard at all. Like when you showed up- your spot in my heart just opened up as if it had been there all along but just not open yet. Oh- I have learned that I do have the capacity to stay awake with no more than two hours of sleep at a time.
I wanted to document not just that you are one month old today but also that you have been a growing machine- your one month appointment was yesterday and you are now 9lbs and 6 oz up from 7lbs 2 oz only three weeks ago! Even more amazing, since we have been together around the clock for the last month- is that you have grown three inches in length! You are now 22 1/2 inches long up from 18 1/2 at birth! Way to go charlie chubs!
To both of you- we went on a walk at the beach today- the weather was perfect and I felt so happy and proud to be pushing my two sons in their stroller. I am having the time of my life being home with you- I can't imagine being lucky enough to be home with you all the time. But frankly- I can't imagine being lucky enough to have both of you to begin with.
God is so good it is outrageous.
