It's early in the AM, but I am feeling inspired to write. I just laid Sean down in bed for his nap time. Sean woke me up for his 6AM feeding. After his feeding, I held him against my chest and he nestled his head in my neck. He contently found his "happy place". At that moment, I was filled with appreciation to God for giving us such a wonderful, beautiful and healthy baby boy.
Being Sean's Mommy has been such a blessing in my life. We have really bonded during these last several weeks at home and also when he was in the hospital. I went to visit him every day in the hospital and as soon as I was able to hold him, I held him each day. He clearly knows who his Mommy & Daddy are and I believe he feels our love. We are filled with so much love for him that it feels like it pours out from us into our sweet baby boy.
Mommy returns to work in just over a week. I have been enjoying the endless hours taking care of Sean during the days. It has been a huge joy and also hard work. I think it can be hard at times because Daddy & Mommy are growing as parents and newborns are incredibly dependent. And also because this is a new experience. Eventually, it will become second nature for us. It's already getting easier and more natural each day.
I had a thought that came to me this morning as I was holding sweet Sean in my arms (I believe it was God speaking to me). This is what He said, "I know it's difficult to know you will be leaving Sean and going back to work soon, but it's now time to share him with others (Avô, Avó, cousins Derek & Bryce) who will also love him very much and give them a chance to love Sean and get to know him." God's words gave me peace. Yes...by Mommy returning to work, this will give Sean's grandparents and cousins a chance to build a relationship with Sean. They also want to get to know Sean and a chance to shower him with their love.
