I know that some of your nights are probably long and you are probably longing for just a couple more hours of sleep, make this your bonding time. Sing to your baby, rock your baby just take every minute in. Because believe me if you do blink they will be grown! Capture every moment on film (and I'm not saying this because I'm a photographer and that's my job) I'm saying that so you'll have those memories to look back on in years to come. Back to the rocking (this is something I think I miss the most) rock that baby every chance you get! I rocked all of mine but I probably mentally recorded each time with Noah simply because I knew he was the last. I had people tell me that they rocked theirs too and if they would have known the last time they rocked would have been the last, they would have rocked forever. I thought they were crazy I knew he would want me to rock him forever. Guess what the day came when the words I thought I'd never hear came out of his mouth.. "Mom you don't have to rock me tonight, I'm 6 now and I'm too big." Those words crushed my heart and soul! So ladies rock forever while you can! I do think rocking gave me more comfort than him.. I knew I was needed.
All children are different and a precious gift from God! Take every moment in ladies and cherish it always!!! Cry if you need to when they cry and you don't know why, pray then too. God entrusted you with this amazing gift, it's ok to turn to Him when you have not a clue what to do!
Love to all!!!
