Dear Paige,
It's hard to believe you turned a month old yesterday. Mommy forgot what
life is like with a newborn. You have certainly made a whirlwind of our little
family, and yet you're such a little blessing. Zoe adores you, and though she's
poked and prodded you more than you might like, I know she just loves to be
around you and to help me take care of you...even when she's acting a bit
jealous. Mom and Dad are still trying to get used to sleeping less and still
trying to figure out your cries, your likes and your dislikes...but we'll get
there.
Your entrance into this world was peaceful. The hospital was quiet so
early in the morning and besides the doctor and a couple nurses you were
welcomed by just your Mom and Dad after only a few pushes. We instantly noticed
your chubby cheeks and your very loud cry. After a couple days getting to know
you in the hospital, we brought you home where we enjoyed tons of help from
family for several weeks. You started out as a very sleepy baby. I didn't even
get to see your eyes until the day we brought you home.
You've just begun to wake up more this last week. Unfortunately, more wake
time has shown that you have some tummy troubles like your sister. Tomorrow
we'll go to the doctor and hopefully find a way to help you with that so you,
and Mom, can feel better. I have more to say to you, but you've just awakened
to eat so I'd best be off. You are so sweet and snuggly and I'm so happy you
are a part of my life forever.
Love,
Mama
