It is weird. It's definitely weird to think of myself as a mom. I feel very young. I feel nervous. I feel overwhelmed. It's just such a different way to see myself. One minute I'm just some young person, going about my life, basically doing as I please - and then BAM! - Now my life is very monopolized by this one little, tiny person.
That said, I also REALLY love it! Just the small little moments I've had over the last three weeks holding him, cuddling, feeding, rocking, bathing, seeing him with Robbie . . . even calming him and waking up in the middle of the night have been really wonderful - totally stressful at times - but honestly and truly wonderful, too.
I've never been a big "baby" person. I don't know how to say that without sounding like a some kind of a jerk, but really, I've never been a person that needs/wants to hold babies or even the person that wanted a baby until about a year ago. I always knew I wanted to be a mom, but I didn't feel truly ready to take care of a baby until just a few months before we got pregnant.
So what's the point to all this? This is the point: I'm really enjoying this more than I thought I would. Sure, there have been tears from both Jacob AND me . . . but I just can't imagine life without him. This little guy is so sweet. And it's only been 31/2 weeks since he was born, but it seems like he was always here.
Okay. I'm done being gushy . . . for right now at least. I'm a mom! Yikes! and Hooray!

I can't get over how cute he is Sarah. Seriously, such a cute little guy you have. Hopefully we can come and see you soon! Just let me know when you're ready and I'm there!
I'm not a baby person at all either. It gets way more fun! As soon as Celia could communicate with me, things got so much easier. At least she could tell me what she wanted! And it's fun to have a little goof asking me if I'm sad and need kisses all the time. But he is beautiful. And there's something to be said for the "sleeping all the time looking cute" stage as well.
aw, yay! he's super cute :)
He is sure is a handsome little guy. I am right there with you. My 4 week old is keeping me sleep deprived but I wouldn't change it for the world. Love them!
You know, I've never been a baby person either. I still don't like holding other people's babies, but it is the best to be a mom. You are a great mom, I can tell. Keep enjoying this time, it's just awesome.
Oh, and I love the picture of him. So cute!
uh, hello, he TOTALLY looks like a Neeley...that could be you or eleanor or stevie or dad right there!!! <3
So Cute! And just so you know, sometimes I still think, 'I'm a mom?! How is that possible?' But it's so awesome (most of the time). I know you'll be a great mom.
Just remember Sarah, You're not a regular mom, you're a cool mom (wink)
I am just so happy for you guys that I wanna explode! He is seriously a cute baby! And I'm not just saying that because you know there are some weird-lookin' babies out there. Ok, this is taking a turn for the weird. Basically, I can't wait to hear more honest, gushy, and amazing motherhood stories from you. It totally weirds me out that you have a kid, but you know I love it. Don't you DARE think I don't. xoxo
Congratulations you guys! He seriously is so cute. I am glad things went well and that you're adjusting to mommydom. It is still weird to me with 2!
