The Haze of Newborn Days
2010 February 24
He’s 2 weeks old now. 15 days, to be exact.
My house is messy… my schedule and lists are out the window… getting the simplest things done takes much time and discipline. Seeking the Lord first is a challenge that requires grace in a whole new context.
Baby cries, sleeps, eats, and fills his diaper. He holds onto my fingers, recognizes me when I walk into the room, and is not content unless I’m holding him.
He almost smiled at his daddy last night. His actual smiles are still reflexes, but they’re adorable and I can’t wait until they’re real.
We’re making it one day at a time. He’s such a precious gift.

Ah, yes. These days are remembered well. Makes one ever grateful that cleanliness has nothing really to do with Godliness.
And if it truly does, well them I’m partial to believing there is a rather long grace period during these times in life. (grin) Your little bumkin’ is a doll, Anna!
Oh, he is just so precious, Anna. You’re giving me baby fever! I hear things start to get better from here, if that helps! Can’t tell you from experience, but that’s what I hear! But enjoy him while he’s little, because these things just tend to fly by. Soon he’ll be starting kindergarten, and you’ll wonder where the time went.
He’s so adorable! =)
Awww wow he is such a handsome little guy!
Wow I can hardly wait till I have a little one of my own! Praying for you as you adjust to this new chapter in life!
