Rowan is one month old! He has already gained at least two pounds and he doesn’t look like a new born any more. He is an amazing little boy. He only wakes twice a night and often sleeps in until 10. So nice to have a baby that likes sleep like I do.
At the hospital we had visits from all of Rowan’s grandparent, Katie, Jonathan, Silas and baby Asa, but because he was born right at the beginning of snow storm, some visitors were kept away. The snow continued and we were a little concerned about getting home. Luckily we could drive on only three main streets to get home, and we made it easily. Once we got home we were snowed in for a couple of days. It was fabulous! My parents were here they got to spend five days snuggling Rowan and making food for us. We spend the first week of Rowans life hanging out staring at him, marveling at his beauty. Chris and I spend the next week with Rowan getting to know him and enjoying being a family of three. I cannot believe that a few weeks before Rowan was born I was thinking about how it had been just me and Chris for almost twelve years, and I was a little nervous about how things were about to change. Things did change, but only for the better. Now my family is even more perfect than it was before.
Chris is an amazing father. I love watching him play, read and talk with Rowan. Every morning before Chris gets up he holds Rowan and they snuggle as they both slowly wake up. Then he changes Rowan’s diaper and gives him to me to feed before he goes to work.
Rowan and I spend most of our time eating and sleeping. We have been using the Moby and going for short walks. Our big outing the other day was a trip to the bank, three blocks away. He loves being wrapped up and usually sleeps while we are walking around.
We have over 300 pictures of Rowan already and Chris and I can often be heard saying “look at our baby.” We are continually entertained by the many faces that he makes, how he sleeps with his arms around his head/face, and just about every other thing he does. The last month as been amazing, we are happy!
I have at least 100 more photos to contribute to your stash - I went photo happy at the hospital and took tons of pics of Rowan and all his new family members...just need to burn them for you! :) He is a beautiful little boy with the perfect little nose! Hard to believe more than a month has gone by, but I'm also so excited to see what kind of boy he'll turn into!
