My sweet girl Addison,
It’s been just over two months since your arrival and I am so obsessed with you. I just stare at you while you are sleeping sometimes because I still cannot believe you came out of me. Starting out as just a few cells to the happy, smiley, beautiful little person you are today is truly a miracle and a blessing.
10 weeks old and by no means do I have all of the answers but what I do know is that the love I have for you is indescribable. Watching you up wake up in the morning makes my heart so full and seeing your smile brightens up my whole day. Everyday we are learning and growing together. I have already learned so many new things since becoming your mom and below are just a few things I now know:
1) MAT leave in the US sucks. I only have another few weeks with you and it’s making me so sad. You are just starting to get interesting and I’m scared I’m going to miss all of the good stuff to come in your development.
2) Breast milk is liquid gold. If you don’t believe me Goggle it. I have used it on your scratches, blocked tear duct, and baby acne.
3) I may have a problem. I am documenting almost everyday of your life. You have been alive for 75 days and I already have over 500 pictures of you. It amazes me just how many photos I have on my camera roll, I’m just always so desperate not to miss a single thing.
4) It makes me so happy to know that you are meeting with your grandparents in your dreams. I know this to be true because of your smiles and laughs I see while you are sleeping.
5) Your Papa. Best decision I have ever made. You’re welcome.
