So Frances is now 1 week old (actually today she is 12 days old, but I'm rounding down). This week has gone pretty fast, probably because I am so focused on one thing (Frances), and everything else doesn't register in my brain. Before Frances, I heard someone talking about how much they loved being a mother to a baby in the newborn stage. I thought to myself, yeah right, who would like that? With Henry I was constantly second guessing myself and he was pretty fussy which made everything more stressful. I was just hoping to breeze through these first few months with Frances so I could start enjoying her.
Not so at all.
Believe it or not, I'm absolutely loving this right now. I am very very happy (and also tired). All the doubts that I had with Henry are gone. I also have a good perspective. The things that made me frustrated last time don't anymore. I know that things will pass and get better. She is not always going to stay awake for 3 hours in the middle of the night. She won't always wake up screaming when she is on her back. So, I will agree. I am loving this newborn stage and will be sad that it will be over. But, when it is over, it will be replaced with an even better stage.
All is good and we are happy. Who couldn't love this little girl?
