6 days old!

ooh my sweet pumpkin! you are 6 days old today and I am so so in love with you! You are so incredible and I feel so thankful to be your mama! Motherhood is so much easier this time around- I am such a different mama to you than I was to Johanna at this age.  I feel like I know what I am doing and you are also a rock-star breast-feeder and sleeper, so things just feel smooth and easy! I am not constantly googling things or worried about you, I am able to relax into you and ENJOY it! I am enjoying you SO much. you are perfect! I am just so in awe of you and how God created you inside me. How He created you to instinctively nurse at my breast and my body knows just what to do to nourish you. Oh, motherhood is the greatest gift and joy of my life- besides my marriage to your daddy.  Your daddy and I were so surprised to see your blond hair and almost blue-ish eyes.  I was picturing you as a little mini version of Johanna the whole pregnancy, but it is like God is telling me that you are an entirely different person than your sister, which of course I know, but it is very interesting feeling all the feelings postpartum brings and trying to separate and understand my feelings of love for you and your sister.  I had your placenta made into pills and those are helping my mood tremendously- I think I did have slight postpartum depression with Jo and as you can tell from my gushy post here, I am feeling so much better this time around.  Every time I start to feel sad for no reason or easily offended, I can take a few pills and my mood quickly changes back to normal.  Your umbilical cord fell off on day 3 and you have already rolled from tummy to back- albeit on a slight incline ;) you are such a superstar baby! You latched on immediately after birth and have been breastfeeding like crazy ever since.  With Johanna, I had so much trouble nursing, so I am so pleasantly surprised by the breastfeeding experience this time around- i am enjoying it so much! What an incredible blessing it is to be able to nourish your tiny little 8 pound body with my own!  You are just such a wonderful baby and I am so so thankful I get these next few weeks with your daddy home to just soak you in- in all your newborn goodness! I love you so much, June Elizabeth!
Anyway, I just wanted to share my thoughts and feelings at almost a week in... I am waiting on some pictures from the hospital, and then will share your birth story next!
