Day 6

We are loving our little Oliver. He is so precious and sweet! How much our lives have changed. It's been 6 days now since he's been born and it has passed so quickly. We love just hanging out with him at home. We love love love laying him on our chests and having some skin to skin time with his warm little body and gentle little breathing and cooing it's truly heavenly.
His sweet little face and attentive gaze are engraved in our hearts. He knows us and we have only just begun. He knew our voices from the first moments after he was born. After hearing us for so many months he knew us. How amazing that God made him that way, able to recognize his mom and dad.
We love learning about our little boy and all the things that he likes and I know we have so many more days to look forward to.
His first doctors appt. was today and he did great. He is almost back to his birthweight and we are sooo glad. He's such a good eater. He breastfed that first hour after birth and has been doing great ever since. I'm so thankful for that, since it was a desire of mine to breastfeed exclusively and it's a blessing it's been going so well. I love the moments we spend together just him and I, while he blissfully fills his belly and lets out these little sighs of contentment. It's truly precious.

I am loving being his mommy and I know Jonah is loving being his daddy. And he is a natural too, taking care of his son is second nature. Our little Oliver, we love you!
