Eden's First Week, According To My iPhone



So many "firsts" have happened this week.
First time meeting Eden.
First time breastfeeding.
First time Eden met grandparents, relatives and friends.
First pediatrian appointment.
First time I used a changing table.
First time Joshua read the Bible to Eden (when she was there and not in my tummy).
First time using the stroller.
First blowout :)
First walk around the lake.
First bath.
So many more firsts.

A part of me feels sad when the firsts come and go, because it means they are over. But then again, it's not really ending-- it's just beginning. We are so blessed with this little angel baby. She is truly remarkable! I don't know how we got so blessed with such a great eater and sleeper (knock on wood)! It makes for a happy mom & dad :)

In the past week, we have already gone to 2 malls, to Costco, on 2 walks, to 2 pediatrician appointments, and celebrated a wonderful birthday lunch for Joshua's 30th. I didn't think I'd be so active after giving birth to Eden, but it's helped break up the monotony of feed/change diaper/feed/change diaper. Oh man, that girl can eat! Yay! I love being a mom and it really is the most natural thing in the world for me. I also love seeing Joshua be a dad. He's taken such good care of me this week. I love seeing my parents become grandparents and my brother become an uncle. We are all so in love :)  

Are you a new momma or a seasoned mama that can share some words of wisdom for the first couple of weeks? Joshua goes back to work soon... pray for me ;) xo
