My Dear Samuel,

[mamajenny]

Well baby boy, you are already 9 days old!  What a first week you had!  We had a tough first four days, and we were so excited to bring you home on Tuesday.  I was so proud of your daddy.  He went in there on Tuesday morning with his fists up ready to fight for you, and boy did he bring it to those doctors.  We weren't going to take no for an answer, and we got what we wanted... you!  Home!  It was so nice to finally bring you home, where we wanted you all along.  It's taken me this long to post anything because for the past 4 days I've just sat with you on my chest, skin to skin as much as possible.  You've nursed and slept on me the majority of the time.  Of course, daddy takes turns as well.  You certainly are a snuggle bug, unlike your big sister.  You'd rather be on my chest sleeping than anywhere else it seems.  And I don't mind at all.
I'm amazed when I look at you, and how big you already are, that you fit in my belly just a week ago.  No wonder I had such a huge belly!  You're a big, strong, healthy boy!  You've got these amazing cheeks that I just love to kiss all day.  You've also got these funny toes that are just too adorable.  Everyone loves your hair, too!  You've got a full head of brown hair, with tips of light brown and almost blond.  You look like a little rock star baby with those highlights.  Personally, I think you're perfect.  From your funny toes to your frosted hair, you're just one gorgeous baby.  
I can't even say how much I love you, Samuel.  You're my little boy.  My son.  I am fiercely protective, and utterly in love with you. 
Love,
Mama
