Some First Thoughts

It's been one week and four days since Molly was born. I am still very shocked that she's actually here. But at the same time, falling into a routine with her (as much as you can have one with a newborn, of course), and otherwise can't really imagine my life without her. It's hard to believe that two weeks ago, I was sitting at home on bedrest, worried about my doctor's appointment on that Friday, wondering if she was going to be coming or not.

The first week home feels a bit of a blur because we had people over, and Hubby was home for the entire week. So it felt more like a vacation than anything else. With a new family member. Hubby went back to work Monday, and my Twin came to stay until Wednesday.

So officially, today is my first day really home alone with Molly. And it's been a rather lazy relaxing one. We slept in till 10:30, she fell asleep long enough in her bouncer to let me get the dishes done and make myself something to eat. Then we've been relaxing on the couch, watching movies and her napping/eating.

I'm loving the time off work, and also being a mom. I really didn't expect to be this overwhelmed with love for someone. It's a new experience to have that feeling the second she was born and just to feel it growing over the little time it's been, let alone how much it will grow over the years.

Molly makes teh cutest faces and yawns. Wiggles adorably. Everything. She is so perfect. I can hardly believe it.

And speaking of, she's waking up, so time for me to go.
