Bye bye umbilical cord!

Added a new job yesterday - taking extra care of him for a week after the bris.  But one job less today - umbilical cord is gone!

The 5 Senses

With Cole's arrival, I feel like all of my senses have been heightened.

I love touching him -- Cole's skin is so soft and his little hairs are just so silky. I am content petting him all day long. And luckily, he is ok with it too!

I especially love smelling him -- I know that may sound funny, but he has the most wonderful smell. It is a sweet smell that I cannot describe. I find myself bending down and just sniffing him. Right now, even his dirty diapers don't smell bad.

Of course, I think he is very easy on the eyes -- He looks just like his daddy.

Since I am breast feeding him, I am always hungry and all food tastes better. Plus I can eat sushi and lox now!!! All great things.

Now, I just said my senses were heightened. The previous examples were positive. Right about now, I wish my sense of hearing was dulled a bit. I wake at the smallest quiver or peep. I used to sleep through earthquakes (literally) but now I jump at any noise he makes. Futhermore, any cry of his just sets my heart racing!!!
