So life has changed in a big way.
and we couldn't be happier about it!
The long nights, spurts of sleep, endless diapers, anything now becoming five times more complicated, and spit up splotched clothes are all so worth it and even a pretty adorable.
We've got our little Nora on a loose schedule already (super exciting!) so that makes things a little easier.
Because of her voracious growth it seems like I spend all day every day in my recliner nursing (and thats not far from the literal truth) but those are some of the sweetest moments as well. I really cherish the quiet moments spent with her, just looking at this sweet gift we have been entrusted with.
The family moments in the night or during bedtime or first thing in the morning all snuggled in bed together during that peaceful time before our day starts are my favorite. Nora already adores her daddy and loves his voice. (I'm convinced I'm still just the milk-man ;)
We Facetime Grandma 'Lissa almost daily and Nora loves it! She will stare at the screen and listen to her Grandma's familiar voice forever! (until she gets hungry - about every 5 minutes)
This has been one of the most emotional times of my life for obvious reasons, and yet I cannot figure out a way to describe it.
To be so utterly depended on my such a sweet thing, and yet feel like you are dependent on her now too is really the closest I can come to describing it. The fear and excitement and the sudden need to make sure your future is the best it can be because it is no longer just the two of you going through life - things seem to matter a little bit more.
So here we go on this new adventure!
I sure have been blessed with the little family God has given me :)
