Life with a 2 month old

Wow! Time has flown by way too fast! Mason has now been on the outside for almost 2 months now! I find myself missing his tiny little newborn phase but I'm happy he is a little less fragile since I constantly worry about everything. I've written some thoughts about these first couple months. More for me to look back on later but feel free to read what's inside my head tonight! lol

Month 1:

The first week was the absolute scariest! I wanted to stare at him 24/7 to make sure he was still breathing, I was worried he wasn't getting enough milk or that I wasn't taking care of his circumcision right. I probably slept a total of 12 hours that first week. Seriously, not even kidding. I was a little worried my body might shut down on me. But it didn't...and nothing bad happened to my tiny newborn. During all of this I was trying to recover from a birth experience where stitches were involved. It wasn't the best week I've ever had. But It definitely was 100% without a doubt in my mind worth it. Every time I was exhausted or ready to cry I would look down at him and smile and thank God for giving him to me. Every week after that first one hot easier and easier. I could get up and walk easier, make dinner and do laundry. My milk came in (and then some!) so I knew he had PLENTY to eat. We started getting the hang of being parents and honestly, it's been amazing since! 

Month 2:

The second month has been completely different. He sleeps more at night and less in the day. He eats less often and more on a schedule. He loves his car seat and driving in the car now, Thank God since we frequent San Jose often. He smiles and tries to talk to you. He can hold his head up on his own. This kid has stolen my heart. I've learned his personality, likes and dislikes that make him his own little human. I know what he is trying to say when he cries a certain cry or makes certain faces. He stays up for hours smiling, listening to those around him and kicking his legs all crazy. He is so much fun! I can't wait to experience new little things he learns. 

Unfortunately I must go back to work on Dec. 7th 😢 but I am hoping to make my schedule part time now. We would like to buy a house within the next year or two. I may even start looking for a new job closer to home with less hours. Steven is in the hiring process for San Jose Fire and if all goes well I may not have to work for too much longer. Keep me in your prayers! I don't want to miss a single moment of my little guys life!
