My beautiful big boy

My baby is just so darn gorgeous!!  Seriously adorable!  When I look at him or cuddle him, I want to hold onto the moment and remember it forever.  I'm so excited about watching him grow and develop, but at the same time, I don't want him to ever change.... he is just perfect how he is.

I remember being warned before he was born that a whole range of responses are possible when you have a baby.  Some women bond straight away, others take time.  It was comforting to know ahead of time so that I didn't feel any pressure to feel a certain way. 

I did love him right when I first met him, but mostly I just wanted to go to sleep.  (Well, hey, I had just been through labour!)  As the weeks have gone by, I have come to adore him more and more.  He is just the most fabulous boy ever!  I just want to tell everyone how great he is!  Even when he makes my head hurt by screaming his lungs out, he is still so wonderful to cuddle and kiss.  And when he is sound asleep, with his peaceful little face and his chubby arms curled up, oh man, he is too cute for words!

He is 9 weeks old today.  According to the maternal health nurse, he weighs 6.61kgs and is 60.5cm long.  That's a gain of 2kgs and 7.5cms.  That's my clever big boy!  Likes his food!  :-D
