1 week.

     Nathaniel is one week old already!  We've been home from the hospital since Saturday evening, and we're settling into a wonderful routine.  Nate is a perfect baby--he rarely cries, sleeps in almost perfect 4-hour increments, and is breastfeeding like a champ!  He loves to snuggle with Mommy and Daddy, and hates to have his diaper changed. 

     Eric is back to work now, so my days are spent at home, full of baby--and I could not be happier!  I knew that I liked babies, and I knew that I would love my baby best, but the way that I actually feel about Nathaniel is absolutely indescribable.  He is perfect and beautiful, and I cannot even imagine my life without him in it now.  I know it sounds silly and cliche, but I really do find myself just watching him sleep.  I can stare at him for hours when he's just making little infant noises and looking around at the big, new world around him.  Instead of watching television or reading, I watch Nate.  I am in love with this little boy so much already, and I cannot even begin to imagine how he's going to change our lives in the future--he's already rocked our world without even knowing it!
