So our dear baby Skye is 2 weeks old. How can I possibly describe what she means to us? After everything we have been through, she is finally here and an absolute perfect doll. The love we feel for her is limitless and we simply can’t stop looking, hugging, kissing and touching her. She loves snuggly time, specifically tummy time on my or daddy’s chest. If it were up to her, she’d be held 24/7, and we’d probably comply if it were at all possible. She sleeps most of the time, but does have moments after eating of alertness where she’ll just slowly blink and investigate the new world around her through her dark, smoky eyes. She eats bottle-fed breast milk every 1-4 hours, which makes night time long and enduring. But even then, it’s special time just being with her. She makes it impossible to be frustrated with, even in moments of screeching crying sessions or when she dirties a diaper that was just changed, or better yet, pee’s on the diaper currently being changed. She has a small voice she uses as squeaks and squeals whether she’s sleeping or trying to wriggle a free arm from daddy’s award-winning swaddle, which she loves, by the way. She’s also found her tongue, although, whether she knows what to do with it is another idea. She makes the most adorable mouth gestures, flipping her tongue in and out of her mouth, or forming large O’s with her lips or suckling the air just to reaffirm that she does know how to do so. She is vaguely aware of her arms and legs, stretching them straight outward whenever they are set free or attempting to grab something, anything. She can’t hold her head up yet, but don’t tell her that.
