Dominic Is One Month Old!

I am absolutely amazed at the sweet baby boy sleeping in my lap as I type. This time last year, a baby was a thought we were entertaining in our minds. Now he sleeps. A beautiful reality.

A lot in our lives has changed with the entrance of this little guy.

New Normal:

I used to go to bed like clockwork between 10 and 10:30 each night.

Now I am popping in a movie around that time holding a very alert baby who has no interest in sleep whatsoever.

I used to be able to handle multiple tasks at once: the laundry, dishes, vacuuming, bathrooms

Now it takes an hour to load and unload the dishwasher, several days to fold one load of laundry, all day to clean a bathroom and I don’t remember what vacuuming feels like now.

All because of this sweet baby boy resting in my newly acquired mommy lap.

And. It’s. Wonderful.

So. Although I love blogging and hope to continue to share our journey with all interested, I may be a little distracted with the addition of this sweet piece of heaven who is one month old today.

One Month Highlights:

• During tummy time, Dominic can raise his head for a few seconds at a time.
• He has already managed to roll over twice.
• He has been gurgling syllables from the time he entered this world. I imagine he’ll be talking in no time!
• He smiles and has laughed once
• He’s not much of a spitter-upper-er  for which I am thankful
• He’s growing…he’s still in newborn clothing but I imagine not for long

Life is indeed beautiful!
