Savas had his first checkup, everything went great. The Dr. said he seems very healthy and has good weight gain, he weighed in at 10 lbs 12 oz, so that's a full pound gained since birth. He also grew a whole inch (22in). He is growing so fast, when I hold him in my arms, I'm like, "Whoa this kid is big," and then it makes me sad he won't stay a little baby very long. I guess I'll just have to keep having kids. It's been so awesome being a mom. I always knew it would be awesome but there are little things you don't realize will touch your heart. Like when we wake up in the middle of the night, while he's eating he will just stare at me and its like we both know what we're thinking, we both love each other more than anything. Then as he drifts off to sleep and you can tell he's dreaming, I like to pretend he dreams about Heaven and hopefully me and his daddy, he will smile and it literally just mealts my heart... it makes me cry. Children are so innocent and pure, it makes me feel closer to God to watch him and be with him every day. His first week home I had to have him sleep right by me so I could make sure he was still breathing ( I swear I'm so paranoid, sometimes if he sleeps longer then normal I will stop and stare at him to make sure he's breathing and that his chest rises and falls,) but now I put him in his bassinet which of course is like 3 feet away from me and I do admit I actually sleep better when he sleeps in his bed but sometimes it just feels so nice to have him sleep by me, to feel his little breath and hear his little noises. On Wednesday he will be 1 month old and that is so crazy, this month has raced by and that scares me, I don't want to blink because tomorrow he will probably be 5 or 6 years old going to school. Being a mom, I think, makes you appreciate your own mom even more than you ever have. I feel like my mom and I are even closer now than we were before, and I'm so thankful for her. Well, that is the update for now...xoxo.

Number 1) that is the cutest picture ever. Thanks.
I am the same way with my babies. I actually still go into my kids' rooms at night to make sure they are breathing, so I don't know if that ever stops or not. Can you imagine when they are like 16 and I'm still standing in their room over their bed making sure they are alive? Sad. And embarrassing for them. Because, what if they were having a sleepover?
I felt like I appreciated my mom way more after I had a baby too. I guess you just realize everything that they had to do for you, and you understand that they had those same feelings for you when you were born, and it's really humbling. Nothing better than all those new baby feelings.
You are such a good mommy already! I just love him and I'm so glad he's here!
Awww thank you. Love you.
haha, "Sayer, your mom is staring at us... it's kinda creeping me out, I don't think I want to sleep over anymore."
