Anders' First Week

I am not quite sure if it has hit me yet that my little bundle of perfection is really here.  It seems so weird to think that his due date is in two days and yet he has been in my arms for 7. I feel so blessed and so humbled.  The process of birth is truly a miracle.  I could sense how close Anderson was to heaven when he was born, he literally just came from there.  He is the closest to perfection I have ever been and I am amazed every day just watching him.

We have learned so much about him already. He:

-is so easily consoled, barely cries, just makes little "bird noises" and it doesn't last long
-loves his hands up by his face
-loves sleeping on his side
-loves sucking! Yes he already takes a pacifier so easily; it's a comfort thing
-is already on a pretty darn consistent every 3-4 hour eating schedule
-is doing amazing with his growth! (1wk old and already surpassed his birth weight.  Currently 8lb 1oz).
-sleeps in his crib like a champ
-has dark dark eyes (dad of course thinks they are just like his and will be brown...I still think blue is an option)
-has the LONGEST feet and hands
-goes completely limp after he nurses, he loves his milk coma
-he knows my and his dad's voice! I love how he opens his eyes and follows our voices
-is the sweetest little boy I have ever seen (I am biased of course)

coming home!

I daydream about our future all the time and just stare into his big eyes and am amazed that David and I created such a perfect little boy.  I am humbled and cannot wait to see how Anders grows and changes right before our eyes.  He is the best blessing I have been given and I have never loved someone so much, so quickly.

It's a hard life sometimes

Onesie for Auntie Becca in Sweden on her mission.  She mentioned in her letter that she just knew that Anders was going to be born that weekend...the Lord gave her that little blessing.  

And Daddy loves his little Crab Bum

I am obsessed with him.  I love cuddling him, I love holding him, I love just staring at him.  And I love his skinny little legs dangling in my arms. 

And I am sure all you moms out there know just how great it is to see your husband with their own child...it melts my heart.  I fall in love with David more and more every day watching him bond with his son.  Agh I just can't get enough of my boys.  One week down, eternity to look forward to.
