Life as a new mommy...

Zane is 6 weeks old now and grows more and more beautiful every day!! My husband and I fall more in love by the minute and just love to stare at him.  He makes the cutest and funniest faces and the sweetest sounds!  When he's awake he always has this look of pure happiness that just warms my heart!!  Lately he is cooing more and starting to smile. When he is awake he is so bright-eyed and LOVES to look at light and ceiling fans. The car puts him to sleep and a good swaddle comforts him!  Bath time usually relaxes him, and he likes them pretty well as long as you keep him warm (he hates being cold). I just love the smell of a clean baby!!! He hardly ever fusses and cries only when he is hungry.  Sleep is a distant memory but now I think I am getting used to functioning on much less than I used to.  I'm not going to lie, being a new mother is hard but also so fun...it's a total life change but I LOVE our life so much more with him in it!! It's starting to get easier now that I have my groove. People tell you that it's challenging and how much your life will change and how unbelievably rewarding it is and you love your child an unmeasurable amount but only until you become a parent can you fully understand how right they are!  One little smile can make you forget a tough day! I wouldn't want our life any other way!!

My husband is a natural!!  He had zero experience with babies, and from the moment Zane was born he took on the role of daddy as if this is what he's been meant to do his whole life!!  I love seeing them together! They look alot alike, Zane has his lips and cheeks and ears.  I could kiss those lips to pieces!!

Zane had his newborn pictures done by a sweet lady Julie at PhotoJewels Photography.  I just got my prints in and I could fill my home up with every single picture!  Here are a few of my favorites!






Being a stay at home mommy is such a gift!!  I get to spend every day with my baby!  I am so blessed to be able to do this!  He is just the sweetest baby, I am honored to be his mommy!!

  2. I love the pic of you and Zane... you look so pretty! Everything you wrote explains exactly what I feel! You just don't understand until you have a baby/child... it makes so much sense now and there is nothing better in the world :)
