Our lives have changed quite a bit since that last post! Nolan arrived on January 7, 2010 at around 6:30pm (in the midst of snowstorm naturally!) From that moment our lives were forever transformed!
I was fortunate enough to spend three months at home with him, and Chris was able to be with us for three weeks as well. It was such a special time for us to bond and get to experience parenthood together. Overall, the sleeplessness wasn't so bad. Nolan enjoys his sleep like his daddy does! We are very lucky!
The weeks at home passed so quickly! We had visitors nearly every day, which made each day so fun! Nolan is very loved, and no one can get enough of him (especially his very proud grandparents!!) That makes his mommy and daddy so happy too! We had lots of help with meals from our wonderful family and friends. We still are overwhelmed by the kindness we received.
Nolan turned three months old this week and I can tell you my love for him grows more and more with each passing day. It's hard to imagine you could love someone you've only known for three months as much as I love that little guy. I'm pretty sure his daddy feels the same!
He has really developed a personality in the past few weeks. He loves smiling and cooing, especially at his mommy (which makes me SO happy!) :) He also loves kicking his legs around and "batting" at his toys. Just this week he has discovered how fun it is to pull my hair. His neck is really strong too. He doesn't love tummy time, but we try to sneak it in there anyway.
Unfortunately, I had to take him the doctor Monday when his grandma/nanny noticed his eye was running a lot along with some nasal congestion he has had for awhile. Dr. McReady said he has an ear infection in his right ear... which nearly broke my heart! He is getting Amoxicillin (which he loves) and ear drops (which he hates)! He still seems to be a little under the weather as he's been somewhat irritable and restless at night. I hope it clears up very soon. Seeing him suffer is awful.
Overall, I just can't express how privileged I feel to watch this little person grow and learn. There truly is no greater gift. As I sing to him each night, he is my sunshine. :) I never knew how much motherhood would suit me, but I'm so glad I got to find out!
