baby time

I'll have to post some pictures later, but I know its time to update my blog when I'm almost off of Dave's blogroll...

I'm really loving our little baby. Now, Ana was a fussy baby and mostly I couldn't wait until she was older, so I didn't really enjoy her baby stage. But this baby, I love it! He is mostly content, though he has had fussy times. I love holding him and cuddling him. Last night, at 4:30, he woke up to eat and didn't want to go back to sleep. He wasn't fussy, but he was wide awake. I sat there holding him and rocking him for about 45 minutes loving every minute of it. It was so quiet and still. How cool it is to be a mom!

Ana is doing pretty good. The last few days she's started whining about little things. Once in a while when she's frustrated she'll hit Jack. (Not really hard, but I can tell its not a love pat.) I'm not quite sure what to do. I don't feel like she responds to me like she does to Dave.

I don't understand parents who only have 1 or 2 kids on the basis that they only have enough love for 1 or 2. When Jack was born, not only did I feel so much love for him, but my love for Ana increased. I felt concern and excitement for her. I worried how she'd react and how she would feel toward her new little brother. I love her more than I ever since bringing him home. I love being a mother. Even the hard parts. It makes the good parts that much better.
