First days at home

It's so hard to try to blog about everything that has happened and that I have felt since I came home from the hospital. I guess I'll start by saying that last week was probably my favorite week of my entire life. Josh and I have just fallen so in love with our sweet baby. We spent the week on an adrenaline high, which helped us get through the days after not getting as much sleep, and enjoyed every second of getting to know our adorable, precious gift from God. I have loved getting to know his little faces he makes, his coos, his sweet smell and soft skin. This week has been a little harder. It was a little more back to reality, as my mom went back to work and Josh went back to working full days. I didn't realize how much that extra set of hands helped! I am now trying to find some sense of normalcy and routine to my days and trying to deal with the ups and downs of having a new baby at home. The downs are the getting up in the middle of the night, still healing from the delivery, and adjusting to the life change of it not being just the two of us anymore. As much as we wanted this life change, it still takes time to adjust to a new normal. The ups are the fact that we have our beautiful, healthy baby boy, who melts our hearts every time we look at him. I love seeing Josh practically run into the house after work to hold him. I love how even when he wakes us up in the middle of the night to be changed and fed, I miss him and am happy to hold him and give him lots of kisses. I'm going to try to get better about blogging, as I'm learning to put James down when he sleeps instead of holding him and staring at him constantly! If you have my photo album bookmarked, I finally took the time today to organize all of the photos of his birth, coming home from the hospital, and first days at home, so check it out!
