6 weeks today


Oh how time flies....

It feels like only yesterday that I announced on this blog that I was expecting a baby.
It feels like only yesterday when we found out we were having a boy.
It feels like only yesterday I was complaining of my discomfort at 40 weeks pregnant.
It feels like only yesterday that Luca was born at 40 weeks and 3 days.

Luca at 6 weeks old giving one of his first crooked smiles

And today Luca is 6 weeks old.

I won't lie, these past few weeks have been incredibly hard. I've cried more times than I care to admit. I've gone through most days feeling like I'm living in a fog. I'm now beyond exhaustion, to the point where sleeping for 5 hours a night feels like a sleep in. But I wouldn't trade it in for anything because when he gives a crooked, squinty eyed, nose scrunched up smile nothing else matters but him.

  1. There is no feeling like it in the world. For all the negatives, it is so so worth it and i'd do it all over again. Enjoy, even through the hormones and sleep deprivation ;) xx
