It has been a week now since baby Zeke was born. I have to admit that I was worried during my pregnancy that I wouldn't enjoy the newborn period because I always felt that newborns were boring. All they do is eat, sleep, and poop. I was also worried that I wouldn't know how to hold him properly because of his floppy head and that I would hurt him somehow. Another worry was that I wouldn't be able to handle the long nights.
I still have those worries (Zeke just eats, sleeps, and poops, has a floppy head, and can't seem to sleep longer than an hour at night), however, despite all this I am actually loving every minute of my newborn. Even his cries are more adorable than annoying.
Yesterday the overwhelming feeling of love washed over me as I was feeding Zeke and I became a little teary-eyed. Ok, I cried, but not that boo-hoo, water everywhere crying, rather it was a silent, "wow this is amazing! I'm so grateful" kind of crying. I blame it on the hormones.
I of course have no idea what the future holds, but I think I can safely say that I can handle motherhood (cross my fingers!).

I know you are a great mom! It is good to hear you are getting those overwhelming feelings of love, nothing can bring those out of us like our babies!
You will miss the infant stage, but every stage brings something new to marvel at, it just amazes me that they are so perfect from the beginning, God is great!
Love you! Glad you've joined the rank of motherhood...now we have so much more in common!
