New Mommy

Logan is now almost 5 weeks old, in fact he is 4 weeks and 6 days. I have heard all the horror stories of being a new parent, and I must say, that as of right now, it's not so bad. Yes, he has his moments of screaming and there is nothing I can do to clam him down. Yes, he has his moments at night when he will not let us sleep, so in the morning I feel not rested. But for the most part, he is such a joy. He loves to be held and cuddle with mommy. When he is awake he will just look around and suck on his pacifier. In the beginning, we did have some trouble with breast-feeding, because I was engorged, but now we are champs. He is also a really good burb-er. That's a good thing when I feed him in the middle of the night. I love being a mom, I really do. I love everything about it. I love the responsibility, I just love it. I really feel like I have found who I am, just by looking into Logan's eyes. I can see and feel the love he has for me, and he knows how much I love him. We have a really strong bond. I even like being home and taking care of the house. I still don't cook, but that's okay because Kevin really enjoys it, so it's really a win/win situation.
Logan's features are also starting to become a little clearer. He does look a lot like his father, but I'm in there as well. At first we thought Logan would look like Kevin, but now that he is a little older, you can see a little bit of me. He does have the shape of my eyes, and now that I dyed my hair a dark auburn, his hair looks like mine. Logan has Kevin's chin, and the shape of his face looks like Kevin's. He is sooooo cute! Logan is going to be such a handsome young man! I hope his personality stays almost the same as he is now. He is an observer. He likes looking around and you can tell that he is thinking really hard. He has such wise looking eyes. I know that sounds weird, but it's true. I can't wait until he really starts smiling, and giggling. I think he is going to be one of those really happy babies, who loves to be around people. The kind who will smile at strangers.
But for now he is learning and growing. Everyday is a wonder for him, an adventure. I get to be apart of that. I get to see his developments as they are happening, and it's the most amazing thing I have ever been apart of.
