Emma's Week 3 Report
I know it sounds cliche, but I cannot believe three weeks have gone by since little Emma joined us outside the womb. Life is so good!
Last week was a challenging adjustment as Aaron went back to work, but we're starting to get a rhythm as a family. My sweet girl likes to stay awake and chat in the middle of the night, and sleep for long stretches during the day, when her Mommy can't just lay down and sleep along with her. But, we've reached a compromise the last few days. As long as I get my morning nap (oh, thank you, thank you, Noggin and Public Television!), I am able to function and actually be a whole person during the day, rather than the shadowy, mumbling, half-asleep version of myself.
This week we made the switch to full-time cloth diapers, which fit a lot better since Emma is filling out her skinny body. They have been wonderful, and a lot less work than I anticipated. But, they do make her have the biggest (and cutest) bubble-butt.
And we took our first mommy-and-daughter bath tonight, which Emma just loved! Max joined us too, and we had a really warm and loving experience. I think it's obvious we have a future Lush addict here (she does take after Mamma, and Max already loves his "special baths"!)
Speaking of Max, our amazing son is the best big brother. He helps me with every little thing, and wants to be near Emma all the time. I don't know how I'd be able to manage without his help, and we try to have some special play time every day when he's the absolute center of attention. Some special one-on-one time with his Meemaw, Poppy, Uncle Ernie and my visiting Aunt Susie has been the perfect solution to his extra energy when I'm exhausted. And every single day, Aaron and I look at each other and share moments of amazement that we love Max more and more - he is this awesome, caring, sensitive, wise person who grows and becomes more incredible every day!
Every day is an adventure here in the Wadley household, and we're loving every minute of it! I just have to remember to be thankful for those middle-of-the-night feedings! :) I am so blessed to be the Mamma to two beautiful, amazing beings! Thank you!
