My little darling boy will be 6 weeks old tomorrow, and I must admit that I am guilty of forgetting just how new and how special it is to have him!
Of course, I love him absolutely - but I don't seem to find much time to just gaze at him in wonderment and awe... And really, that's just what I should be doing!
I feel like he has been part of the family forever - I can't believe just 6 weeks ago he was still inside me and we hadn't met face to face!
Having a two year old, and a new house being built has meant that I am always on the go, and have plenty to do. My new son is well loved, but I tend to think of him more in terms of the little creature who is constantly with me: either asleep, feeding or wailing! My sprained wrist from carrying his capsule about and cracked nipples from him being an enthusiastic feeder - are just extra 'complications' to my overloaded and sleep deprived life!
I have to slow down, I have to take time-out more and do less - and really realise that I have recently created a little miracle and there is no time better than to gaze at him in wonderment and feel proud of myself, and blessed with all that I have, than right now!
