Our little man is now 4 weeks old. Tomorrow he will be one month! I can not believe how fast that went. I have enjoyed every second of every day with him. I love being his mommy. I can not think of a moment when he was not here. It's like my life started the moment he was born. My life is so complete now. It's amazing how someone so small can fill my life with so much love and happiness. Everyday he amazes me more and more. I knew I would love him, but this love I feel for him is indescribable. It touches my very soul.
He is starting to respond to us now. And smirk back at us when we talk to him. He is finding his voice and coos and goos all the time. He is filling out now too and his face is so chubby and so cute. His legs are getting ruffly and his hands are getting the nuckle dimples now too. I could just stare at him all day long. I like to look at every part of him because I just want to memorize his very being. When I put him down for his naps I count down the minutes till I get to be with him again! I also count the minutes of sleep I will get too! But, when he wakes up there has been only a handful of times where I have said to myself...just 5 more minutes of sleep, Jake! Please! but, then I remember that it's him I get to see when I walk into that nursery and that is motivation enough for me to get up.
I do not feel sleep deprived at all. tired? Yes, of coarse but it is a good tired. I feel so needed and productive. This is why I am here on this earth. Some people are here to find the cure for cancer or win the nobel prize... I am not destined for that greatness... I am here to love, nuture and help a little person grow into the man he will be. This is the most important cause I will ever fight for. I may not win the nobel prize for motherhood, but that's ok because I have won the best "NOBLE" prize in history!

I am a mother!
