Some Photos and an Update :)

Noa's first month FLEW by...seriously--so crazy. Here are some photos from our first few weeks home.

All is well here--I have made the decision not to go back to work just yet. I think I need some more time to develop a better schedule with Noa, and figure out how to work and have a little girl at home. Today I went for a run. The first time since before we got pregnant. I lasted about 15 minutes--pathetic, but a good start. :)

Bryce is doing well. He is crazy busy with responsibilities, and being a part of our church's softball team. He is the pitcher, and an all-star one at that. Noa and I enjoy watching and cheering.

Noa is doing well. She is smiling a lot more now and responding a little to our talking to her. She is a great eater, and sleeps most of the night--just gets up once around 4 am. She is also taking to her baths a little better. She screamed bloody murder the first couple times, but now she is kind of liking it. :)

Bryce and I had a date night this past weekend. (His idea, and my mom's help with baby-sitting---so nice!) We went and saw a friend of ours in a play, and then had a great dinner out an Italian restaurant in Philly. It was great!! So refreshing. :)It is good to feel a little more human.

I think that's all for now-write more later!

My favorite little smile...

Mo-hawking it

I love how focused she is. :)

On being a Mom...

A one-month-old's mothers thoughts on Motherhood...

*Someone will forevor depend on me for their well-being. That is one crazy thought! I keep thinking that this will end soon...like I will give her back to her REAL parents soon. I just can't seem to wrap my mind around this!

*I will never get out of the house as quick as I want to--ever. I have never understood this about mothers until now! WHY CAN'T WE GET OUT OF THE HOUSE?!

*I no longer go shopping in search for items for myself. I can't tell if this is self-lessness, or my subconscience need for my kid to look cute and have cute things. Ha. Probably a bit of both...

*I have never wanted to protect someone/something so badly in my whole life! From the biggest of dangers or innocence-robbers, to the littlest case of diaper rash--I just don't want anything to happen to this little girl...

*I feel like I don't have much else to talk about...why does motherhood dominate a new mom's world? Isn't there anything else we can talk about other than poop, hiccups, or breast-feeding? (I know this one will change soon...once I start getting my life back, it is just making me laugh a little)

*I have never been so in love with someone! (excluding Bryce maybe... :) )

*The expression "Time flies" has taken on a whole new meaning...I can't believe how quickly children grow and change and learn new things!! Happy 1-month Birthday Noa!!

I promise to put some new pictures up of her soon!

The Hewlett family gets a little bigger...
