Nothing prepared us for your smile - Anonymous
It is so amazing to me that it has been three months since we brought our little love home with us. She has grown and changed already so much. We are constantly fascinated by her every breath and move. Thinking back to those first few days and weeks we were quite a bumbling pair. We had to figure out a few things along the way to make it work for our little one. There was definitely no end to the amount of advice we received...."Ahhhhh". Our little Mya had her days and night confused and for the first number of weeks wanted to sleep all day and be up during the night. Mike had thankfully taken two weeks off to be with me to help with getting Mya settled at home.
I had a bit of a difficult recovery after the birth and it took me a long time to heal and feel close to normal. It was nice I am lucky to have lost all the baby weight almost immediately though.
There are times when I still have difficulty believing I am really a mother. I look at this little beauty and am baffled at her perfection. I love her to a breath and depth that I can only describe as the destiny I have been moving towards all my life. My life is so blessed right now. I never imagined such wonderment and beauty to be mine.
Watching her grow and change right before our eyes is amazing. We have watched her evolve so much already in her short stay here. She has definitely "woken up to the world" in the past month or so. She is now discovering her hands and watching people and her surroundings. She absolutely loves music...I think Salsa is her favorite. She "sings" as well. For some reason she loves the song from the Mc Donalds commercial for the filet of fish sandwich *laughs*.
When she looks at me and breaks into a smile it melts my heart in a way I can barely describe. She smiles her first smile at 3 weeks and we were lucky to get a picture. She is such a happy girl and brings a smile to my face....even in the middle of the night when I would be so exhausted I could barely think.
The past three months have been the most magical and gorgeous time I have ever known. Life truly is magnificent. I can't wait for the rest of my life with her.
