Due Date

Dear Baby Andrew,

Today is the day you were supposed to be born. But instead of sitting in a hospital bed anticipating your arrival, I spent the morning cuddling with you while Daddy slept beside us. It was the best feeling to hold you in my arms while you slept.

I can’t believe you’re already six weeks old! You are getting more alert and awake as each day passes. You still sleep most of the day, but you wake up each night and want to play. Your personality is definitely starting to show. You are so interested in the world around you. I love watching you as you discover it.

You love laying in your swing. It’s the one thing that can calm you down when you get too upset. You’re eating more and more every day and growing stronger. You weighed 6 lbs, 7 oz at our visit to the pediatrician last week. She was so impressed with how much you’ve grown!

Christmas was wonderful. You got to meet your Aunt Kate and see your Grandma and Grandpa Blake again. You also got to meet your Aunt Jet and Uncle Brad and your cousins Hyrum and Benson. Everyone loved holding you and spending time with you. You were definitely the star of Christmas this year!

This morning, I tried to snap a few photos of you to document your “Due Date.” I was so excited to catch one of you smiling! I can’t wait to see many, many more.

Love,

Your Momma
