Week 2 has been amazing. I have experienced why it is so difficult for mothers to return to work because for me, every second away from Sofia is unbearable. Granted not much has truly happened, as far as development, in the first two weeks but the joy she has brought is palpable. During the day she eats, sleeps and poops. When she is hungry she fusses enough to get fed and to her feedings are ravenous! By that I mean, she will fight to find the "nip" so much so that even the nurses were calling her Piranha! It is a sight and ohhh so cute! When she sleeps she will "Coo" this sound is so precious it makes her daddy melt. In the middle of the night, I will assume Michelle is asleep, but little Sofie will make a sound that both of us will simultaneously giggle or ohhhh because we secretly sit up listening to her. The only time this has been a problem is when she will make a random sound, only to be described as a Hiccupfartburpsneezecough that causes mommy and daddy to leap from bed to make sure Sofia is still breathing. Come to find our precious gift sound asleep or looking around with her melting eyes. Sometimes I will wake in the middle of the night and listen for her (this is why new parents don't sleep) to make sure she is still breathing and once I hear her, coo, cough, poop (hehe) or even Hiccupfartburpsneezecough I can sleep sound knowing my baby girl is ok. I would go into poop stories but most of you probably know me well enough that because of my obsession with pooping I will be dedicating a post or multiple to stories of poop! (did I repeat the word poop to often, poop!)
Quick mention about Michelle, she has been absolutely, indescribably the best mom! Her interactive affection to Sofia makes me appreciate, even more, God's gift of her for my life! She is, without a doubt, meant to be a mother!
