TWO weeks OLD.

We have survived the first TWO WEEKS! Kamden had his 2 week old checkup at the doctor... and he's up to 7lbs 12 oz.! The doc says he will probably gain an ounce a day now.

We are starting to get into the routine of being new parents. We make a good team, and really help each other out. For me, it has been really great to have a partner helping me, wonderful family and friends that have been there for us through it all. I especially loved all the food that has been sent our way, so we didn't have to cook. I haven't been able-- so if it weren't for an amazing support system we would starve! haha.



Of course, being a new mom I find it hard to sit down and relax and just take a break. I want everything to be perfect and everything to be in place at all times... but I have realized in these first few days, its just not possible and not healthy for me and my recovery. So I've slowed down a bit... and started taking every one's advice to sleep when the baby sleeps-- and get some much needed rest!

In between times, I have enjoyed spending quality time as a new family... and with my new love. Now the walks I used to take with Keith our even more special now that we have Kamden to take with us... I dance around the house with Kamden in my arms and he just loves it. I've never felt this much joy in all of my days.... and now its the little moments I cherish the most.
