one week

Dear Emmy,

How are you so big already? I swear it was just weeks ago that I found out I was pregnant, days ago that my tummy was so big and I couldn't fit into any of my clothes, hours ago that I was feeling you kick, twist and hiccup on our way to the hospital to get ready to meet you!

Now you are finally here in my arms, snoring ever slightly and kicking your tiny feet. You give us the biggest accidental smiles and also the biggest yawns! You love listening to music, to mommy's voice and her silly songs, and all it takes is rubbing your head while saying "shhh, shhh, shhh" to get you to fall asleep.

This week has been so absolutely amazing. I can't stop taking photos of you - I want every moment to last forever. I am so thankful you are a happy, healthy baby. I already can't imagine my life without you in it and I can't wait for all of the things that come with you growing up. You will always be this tiny, sleeping baby to me, no matter how big you grow, how old you get or how one day you'll want to run away from home.

I love you, my Emmy bird, and you'll always be my baby.

xoxo,
Mama bird
