Sofia is officially a week old as of 11:37am yesterday. Everyone told me how amazing, hard, & special that first week is and they were right . It has been all of that and so much more. It's hard to believe you can fall so in love with anyone from the moment you first lay eyes on them the way I fell for her. To see how she changes from day to day and her personality begins to slowly emerge - there really is nothing better. To have her look at me for the first time and feel like she sees you and knows who you are and who you will always be to her for the rest of her life. Perhaps, thats a bit too existential for a one week year old but during our 4am feedings with the lack of sleep and the lighting everything appears a bit surreal. All I know is as we muddle our way through figuring out how to soothe her cries, dealing with cranky outbursts from lack of sleep, and the amazement that we actually created such a beautiful little girl - I will forever cherish this first week of her life and all the weeks that follow. We are truly blessed.
