I can't believe where time is going but I am loving every single second of being a mummy.
Alexander is more than I ever dreamed. You all told me how much I would love him but no one can imagine this until it actually happens.
Now he is really recognising Tassos and myself. I don't think he cared so much who he was with before but now he reacts so beautifully to us both.
You've no idea how often we sit with him and look at him and he looks at us as we marvel at our little man.
Sometimes we just sit and talk about the future and imagine him as he grows up and it's all so wonderful. I don't think anything matches this feeling and I can't imagine what it's like for women who don't have their baby's daddy to share these times.
He feeds well and it is going better than I could have hoped, he sleeps pretty well and I don't know why so many new mums find this time hard because I adore every second of it. Maybe it's because I thought I would never have this chance, or maybe he's a very good baby or maybe I'm actually a natural. I do realise I am fortunate that I can rest when he does, mums with older children don't get that chance.
