Six weeks and smiling!

I've thought about blogging many times in the last few weeks but it just hasn't happened. Partly I think because I feel like I wouldn't be able to be very positive. It has been really hard being a new mom again, and I can speak for BCH that it has been quite an adjustment for him as well. Now this doesn't mean that we aren't happy about Porter being in our lives, because already I could not imagine life without him.

I've told a couple people lately that I didn't feel 'too old' to be pregnant, but there are times I feel too old to have an infant. It is really hard getting used to be being on someone elses schedule! I barely remember it from my other boys. BCH and I have spent many years being able to do what we want when we want to. We 'knew' there would be this adjustment, we talked about it frequently, yet actually going through it has been a challenge.

I feel like this week has been a turning point though. Its almost like a switch was flipped on. Porter has been so much more aware of things around him and of us. He recognizes us, responds to us, and has been smiling and making faces back at us. Its been such a reinforcement and makes play time with him so much more fun. I look forward to watching him learn and grow even more.
