Baby Olive came to us over a month ago (already!) and has shaken, rocked, flipped our world upside down.
They told me that my heart would grow to love another again, but uniquely. Now, I’m not sure why I ever had even a shadow of a doubt. She is “without equal or rival” and we’re all smitten.
J has been a doting older brother, so sweet, so incredibly helpful. And my heart has been exploding watching them together.
Even at just a week old, O was already showing us she has a strong neck, holding her head up. Now, she’s trying to stand up (!!!) I thought J was athletic but she may give her big brother a run for his money. (Slow down, baby girl!) She eats like a champ and has gained a good amount of weight already, but sleep is another story. It has become a bit harder to come by but the culprit may be gas. She’s been my little sidekick, always attached me day in, day out. The days, and nights, are long and I’m exhausted but my heart is full.
7 days old
Happy one month, O!
