Anything sweeter than baby feet?

Rookie Parents

Getting used to a new baby in our home has been challenging. One does not fully understand being a parent until you have to literally lose over half of your sleep every single night. I have often thought and now simpethize with single parents. I think I would have already fallen off my rocker if not for Aaron. 

Abram will be a month old tomorrow. Where did that time go? I have almost forgotten the birth and the fear that we felt when we knew he was coming early. Now our days consist of spending our mornings at the park and as many naps as we can get in. Babies can be so boring (just being honest here) but at the same time so hard to occupy when they are not sleeping. Is it just me or does every parent of a new born feel as though they need to be right in baby's face when he is awake? Spending every single day with someone who cannot say "hey mom lets for a car ride or to lunch" gets a little lonely. 

I have learned a lot this month and Im sure I will only learn more on a daily basis....

• Babies really like to suck.... like all the time! My heavens!
• This baby can soil as many diapers as possible in one feeding sitting... Again My heavens!!
• Babies are totally confused as to what time of day it is.
• Abram has this eating radar. When Mommy starts stuffing her face Abram wants to do the same. 
• Babies are not confined to breakfast, lunch and supper meals..... they eat literally all day. Lets all say it together MY HEAVENS!
• Your baby must be the most amazing thing God has created soooo you take a million photos and you elaborate on the smallest things (sorry for all the text messages you all).

Well lets see what we can learn in this next month :) 
Back to Abram I gooooooo!

Nana's are great!

We had a wonderful few days with my Grandma. Abram's Nana. I cant wait for him to get to know her more! 

Sandy is such a good girl with Abram. She gives the most gentlest kisses! 

Thoughts

Being a mother and a wife has always been a dream of mine. Finally God has blessed me with both. I must say though that I never thought it was going to be so time consuming. I was always told when I became a mother nothing was about me anymore it was all about your child. Those people were sure right. Today Abram scared the tar out of me. He had some projectile vomiting which was yellow. It came out of his nose as well so it was hard for him to breath. Along with that came some sneezing up green mucous. Boy did my heart ever break for the kid. I then felt that unconditional love that a mother has for her child. How could anyone ever let that go? Day 3 of being at home without my husband. I really hope it gets better once he gets bigger!

Photos

Yes MORE photos. I love taking pictures of my two favorite boys :) 

He sure doesnt look like me! Lol Look at those ears! 

Due Date/More Photos

Today was our original due date. Its hard to believe that Abram has been here almost three weeks. Things are going great and we are so thankful. Aaron starts his new job on Monday which means the "stay at home mom" part starts. It has been nice having him home for two weeks to help with the transition. Any time anyone has a baby I strongly encourage your husband to take maternity leave as well. Especially if it is the first baby. 

Abram and I will have lots of down time so I better start figuring out what exactly a SAHM does ;) 
We spent some time at a friends house last night. It was nice getting out and sharing the joys that Abram brings to everyone! I hope you are all having a great weekend! 

Update

Abram gained 9 ounces in a week and is an inch longer. He is doing so well. Eventually he will have to have an ultra sound done on his hips due to being breached most of the 9 months. It can be hard on them and just to be safe we will have a look see. The doctor says he looks great and of course the weight gain is awesome!
