1 Week Today...

Today our little peanut is 1 week old. Yup, 7 days she has blessed us with her every joyous presence.


My dear lil' peanut,

You are one week old today, my little one. With each passing day, each passing moment we have risen more and more in love with you. We are better versions of ourselves.  Better parents to you. Better partners to each other. Better people of the world. Because of the love you have poured over us. 


Ever since your birth day you have been tugging on our heart strings. You are a beautiful wonder. You have been gracing your Mama with sleep by waking up only twice at night since your arrival. You are so curious throughout the day that you are awake anywhere from around 8:00-10:00 in the morning. Then you dream beautifully up until 3:00-4:00 and then you are back in action, drinking in the sights and sounds of your world. Falling asleep again around 8:00 pm. Mama can only hope that this is a routine that will last...

You have already shown many different faces, and love the sound of your Daddy's voice. Even though you have yet to be snuggled in his arms you already know that he belongs to you and you him. We have been video Skyping with him everyday and you can't take your eyes off the computer when he talks. 


Bria sweetheart, you are going to be an amazing, strong, beautiful woman. Already you are lifting your head from side-to-side. Already you are so alert and curious while learning about your surroundings. Already you are so content on being in your playpen wide awake with wandering eyes. Already you are grabbing on to fingers and squeezing like you are a month old. Already you have mastered the art of getting both your arms out of your swaddle blanket because you love having your hands by your face. Are you ready to WOW the world peanut? Because you are well on your way. 


Thank you sweetheart, for giving me the opportunity to become a better person because of your love. Thank you for giving your Daddy and I so much joy that we have becoming more loving towards you and each other. Thank you for helping us become better people to the world. 


Forever yours,
Your Mama
