Best Milestone So Far: Smiles!
Elsa,
You are four and a half weeks old and tonight when I picked you up for your middle of the night feeding, you gave me a great gift. I'd been awake in bed, listening to you stir. You were grunting, panting, and licking your lips, so I assumed you were very hungry and would want to get straight to business. Instead, you looked up at me with a look of recognition and SMILED. You grinned about a dozen times, each one a little bit different. I exclaimed, and your dad got up to see you smile, too. I hope you smile for him tomorrow because he isn't as alert in the middle of the night as I am (less practice!).
Your grin is toothless (of course) and actually close-mouthed, something that surprises me. Its really cute.
Thanks for this present!
Love
Mama

to see her start smiling at herself in the mirror. This is a great
advantage of having her changing station on my dresser instead of in
the nursery on the changing table. The other great advantage is for
her brother, who is currently enjoying silent nights free from a
sister in his room!

I Am Glad You Were Born Contest Comment
One of the blogs I follow, Cotton Babies, is sponsoring a little contest with the sentence starter... I'm Glad You Were Born.
I am glad YOU were born, Miss Elsa... if you weren't born three weeks ago, I'd be nearly 42 weeks pregnant, which would be very uncomfortable, I bet!
Here is the comment I left:
I am so glad you were born, dear children. I delight in your charm and beauty and find a renewed sense of meaning for my life when we are together as a family of four. Though motherhood was not an original ambition I set for my life, each day I set a goal to be the best mom I can be for you two, which includes being emotionally and physically present for you receptive to how you show me love.
Son: I am thankful for our twenty one month relationship together. You light up my life and bring joy to our home.
Daughter: I am eagerly anticipating our life together, too. Three weeks is a short time to be your mother and thus I am giddy with the thought of being blessed by you for the rest of my life.
