Sweet, wonderfully smelling baby sleeping on my chest. Its amazing how new it all feels again with a tiny infant around. Everything just seems a bit..different. Fresher. A brand new beginning all over again with this new life. I've spent so much time lately just sitting, staring at her little face and wondering how on earth something so beautiful could have been growing inside me for so long. Again. I knew there was a baby in there of course, but the moment she came out I just couldn't believe it. A real baby! She is worth every labor pain, sleepless night, and spit-up stained shirt I've received. Baby Rose, I just love her so much. And didn't I tell you all she'd be a HER?! Its not that I didn't want a boy, quite the opposite actually. We'd been rooting for a boy since the beginning. But the moment I'd decided it was a girl I was at complete peace, and then I knew that's what she' be.
At nearly 7 weeks old now she is sleeping through the night for 6 hours straight (Except for a few pesky nights here and there) an is nursing like a champ. A dreamy 4th baby, if I do say so myself. She smiles her huge gummy smiles and it makes us all crack up laughing. Her siblings absolutely adore her (especially big brother) and shower her with (soft!) hugs and kisses from the moment they wake up. Rose completes our family in so many ways. Thank you, Heavenly Father. Thank you.
