You are one month old. I started writing monthly letters to your brother Noah for the first year of his life. I loved writing them because so many changes happen within this time. So here is your first letter. This has been kind of a crazy month for you. You and I were doing so great after you were born that we left the hospital a day before I planned. I wanted to get you home and have the family together. Noah was happy to see you and we took this picture for your birth announcement.
I knitted all three hats in anticipation of your arrival. Yours didn't fit very long. At your 2 day check up the doctors were worried you were a bit jaundice so we took you in for a test and yup... you needed to be on a billi-blanket. You looked so weird all lit up.
You were on the blanket for a week. It was hard because I could hardly hold you because you needed to be under the blanket so much. You did so well with it. You seemed to be a little grumpy sometimes but who could blame you.
We were so relieved to be done with the blanket because it was a lot of misery and you had to get heel prick tests every couple of days and that was not fun for dad and I to have to take you in and have your feet turned into pin cushions.
You started to get a little bit of acne so you got prescribed some cortisone for your cradle cap and acne. You didn't like being wiped down with that.
You had your first halloween party before you turned a month old and you were a sushi handroll. MMMMM... you looked delicious.
It was an emotionally rough month because mommy was low on sleep high on worry and could hardly cuddle you. But we made up for it.
It has been an adjustment going from just your brother to 2 little boys in the house. Your dad has been great and we could not have imagined it any other way. Our house seems to be bursting out of its seams with love and family. We feel like you have brought so much more love into the house. I feel so blessed to have you. You are so beautiful and I can't wait to see what next month will bring!
I love you!
Love, Mommy
