One Week

It has been just over a week since this sweet boy made his initial appearance. Amazing how quickly your life can totally change. Each day he is changing and growing and already I feel the time slipping away. Although part of me is looking forward to the future with this boy.. the other part of me wants to lock him in the newborn phase forever.
My heart melted the moment I saw that sweet blue face. The doctor laid him on my chest for a split second before they whisked him off to get him breathing properly. That brief second is burned into my memory. It changed me forever. And finally to hear him cry.. it was music to my ears.
Our family grew from a wonderful 2 to a perfect 3. Seeing Albin with this little boy makes me fall in love all over again. Our days instantly became shorter but more full. We suddenly have so much to worry about, yet not a care in the world. Now we have him home.. the amount of sleep we get is completely up to him, and getting out of the house feels like a serious accomplishment. But we are loving every minute with our sweet new Bennett. This is a whole new beautiful journey.
