How Did a Month Pass So Quickly?

So Liam is a month old today.  I'm living in a sort of haze.  I was cleaning up around the house and found the pregnancy tests I took back in November!  It was so unreal then!  And now he's a month old.  He eats a lot-about 3-4 oz. per feeding.  But last night he slept fairly well.  Maybe we're starting a trend!  He tracks with his eyes AND moves his head to follow an object!  What a big boy! :) 




I'm feeling very VERY possessive of Liam.  This surprises me.  I was sure that this being my second baby I'd be more easy going, willing to let anyone help me.  Not so much!  Since my mom is going to take care of him when I go back to work, and, it IS my mom and I trust her with my kids' lives, I don't mind her helping.  I even let Liam spend the night there when Brian and I need extra rest.  And Brian is amazing with Liam.  It's so not a matter of trust!  But even when it's Brian's turn to take Liam for the night I do the last feeding most of the time, and just have a hard time handing him over.  I just want to hug and kiss and touch his soft skin all the time, and to feel his formula breath on me.  I'm nuts, I know!  I chalk it up to the fact that Brian very adamantly states over and over again that Liam is our last baby, and I just can't accept that.  But just in case, I want to spend every possible baby minute with him!  I can't wait to see what he does tomorrow.
