Lately, I’ve been adjusting to having my heart grow so much bigger in such a short time that it has nearly taken my breath away. π I’m in love with my little girl and I honestly haven’t desired to do much else other than nurse her and snuggle with her!
My mom has been a HUGE blessing for the past week with cleaning, running errands, and watching Gabriel. She is supposed to leave tomorrow or Wednesday, and I’m already so sad just thinking of her leaving. Gabriel is such a handful, and it’s been wonderful to have her help me love on him this week as we’re all adjusting to having a new family member. Gabriel can tell that something is new, but he doesn’t know what. He is acting out just the slightest bit more to get attention I think. I want to make sure that Gabriel feels just as loved as ever, and that we give him enough positive attention–the kind where we sit down and read and play Legos and count Cheerios and aren’t just talking to him when we’re correcting him.
My awesome mom π

Mommies are the best… I still don't know how my mom does it… she comes, plays with Ellie, takes care of my kids and me, and cleans my house and washes the dishes… We are lucky to have such wonderful mommies. If you want company after your mommy leaves, give me a call π

Wow Erin I LOVE the first picture – you look SO incredibly beautiful and peaceful, especially since you'd just given birth 10 seconds earlier!
