First few days

Mason will be a week old tomorrow. It's hard to believe how fast the last week has gone by. All of my life, I have known that my purpose was to be a mother and a wife to my family. I have waited for this moment for a very long time and it is way better then I ever imagined.

He has had a lot of firsts the past few days. He had his first bath, and let me tell you that he isn't a big fan. It was heart wrenching to hear his little cry. Luckily, it was a quick bath and he was a happy camper once he was dressed. I also read his first book to him, "Green Eggs and Ham". I think he will be a big fan of Dr. Seuss just like his mommy.

His first night was a little rough, not so much for him, but for me. I had a hard time going to sleep while he was sleeping. I just wanted to watch him and make sure he was ok. Since then, mommy and Mason have been sleeping great. I get about 5 hours of sleep a night. I don't mind getting up to feed him or change him. It's our bonding time. Adam has adjusted just fine to the nights. Adam is a hard sleeper and he doesn't here Mason get restless when he wants a diaper changed. Mason doesn't cry very much, unless he is hungry and usually he eats after a diaper changing. He is the most peaceful baby I have seen. He is very happy and content.

Tomorrow we go to the Pediatrician for Mason's first checkup. More to come tomorrow.
