he’s here!

(5 days new, last week, and stealing his momma’s heart)

My sweet little love bug, Luca James, made his grand debut the day before my birthday (his actual due date) on 2 September, at 900 pm!  He was 8 pounds, 12 ounces and 21 inches of pure sweetness and we are so, so in love!  He’s got the most incredible head of jet black hair and the bluest eyes, just like his big sister and momma and daddy have a serious case of heart eyes! This newborn phase is so fleeting (I can’t believe he’s 12 days old already) so I’ve been soaking up every single moment and wishing I could bottle how amazing he smells!  Lydia is the best big sister ever; she’s all about helping and holding him and smothering him in kisses, which warms my heart even more!

(meeting baby brother in the hospital)

Everyone told me that, with the second baby, time goes twice as fast and they weren’t lying – between constant nursing and changing diapers, I’m playing dress up with Lydia or baking in her kitchen, just taking it all in.  I saw a quote the other day that simply said, “of all the things I’m proud of, being a mother is, by far, my greatest achievement”.  And it’s so true.  Thank you all for following along on this journey with me!  It’s back to regularly scheduled blogging soon, I promise, but in the meantime, give me ALL the sushi….
