One week with Sterling and my heart is just so full. I guess no matter how much I prepared myself and got excited for that little soul to come into this world and thought I would love him, it didn't even compare to the first few moments of love that poured over me when they put him up in my arms. Each day, each moment, each little noise and face he makes, that love for him grows and grows and I just feel like my heart will explode if it continues at this rate.
Sterling truly has been the sweetest, calmest, happiest little baby I could ever imagine. He truly is the most beautiful little thing I have ever seen and I just can't believe he is mine.
He sleeps a lot and he sleeps well. When he is awake it is just the best. He is alert, his eyes are active and connecting, he is curious, and you can tell his little mind is just observing and absorbing. He is very serious with his stern brow and sealed lips just looking about. He is constantly making little noises, grunts and squeaks that make me laugh all day.
The sweetest moments are after he is fed and he is up on my shoulder falling asleep. That is when his expressions come out... his "o" face, big smiles, and raised brow. It is one of my favorite times with him. We have very quiet days, whether awake or asleep. There is a calmness in this house since he arrived. Even when I get the least amount of sleep I can imagine or he is the most inconsolable, there is so much love for that little face that it doesn't matter and bitterness, frustration, or stress are just not present in my heart. I know I have been blessed with the sweetest, easiest little baby just like I was blessed with such a sweet, easy pregnancy and labor. I take it all so thankfully!
I love you little Sterling. You have filled my heart to the rim.
more, please
