Baby Bump: {38 weeks}

To my dear little Noah Bean,

YOU ARE HERE! You're already four weeks old and sleeping peacefully in your crib beside mommy and daddy's bed as I type this. You have bought so much joy to our lives in these short four weeks - I can hardly remember life before you and, to be honest, I can't imagine what we did before we had you! Life just seems so much more meaningful with you in it. Yes, I feel pretty tired most days and I barely have time to brush my hair, let alone take a shower, but every little sacrifice is so worth it. Before you were born, I worried about how I would cope with a baby and having very little time to myself. I've always needed plenty of 'me-time' - just ask your dad what a miserable grump I become when I haven't had my hour-long soak in the tub. But I've surprised even myself at how well I've adapted to life as a mom: I don't mind that I have to make do with a quick shower most days; the 10 minutes spent bathing you have become the highlight of my day - tears and all! I really do hope that the tears at bath time become a thing of the past soon; it breaks my heart having to hear you cry your little heart out! Bath time is supposed to be fun - I'm sure you'll come to love it soon enough. Fingers crossed!

Thank you for choosing us to be your parents. I feel so lucky to have you in my life and feel completely overwhelmed at the love I feel for you already. Every day we learn more and more about each other, and every day I discover another little thing I absolutely adore about you. You are my favourite person on this planet, little guy - don't you ever forget that.

I love you so, so much,
