Just to see you smile

Olivia is a dream come true. Even though she wakes up every two hours to be fed, it is so easy to take care of her. I had fogotten how sleepy they are when they are first born. I'm not sure what we thought was so hard last time. I guess the newness of it and the whole not knowing what to do with a new baby.

I've been being bad. I have been letting her sleep with me. I can't help it though. After I feed her at night, she's so warm and cuddly. When I try to put her down in the bassinet, she wimpers and I can't let her wimper, so I snatch her up and craddle her in my arms until she wakes up again to be fed. Even in the dark, I can see her staring up at me and it makes me want to cry because I love her sooo much.

I don't know what it is about her, but she is a special baby. I can't love one baby more than the other, that's the rule, but with Olivia, I just love looking into those little eyes and watching her watch me back. I don't know if I have such a strong bond with her because she might be my last baby or because she's my little princess. We still are unsure of another baby, so we're putting off getting fixed. We're definetly waiting a little longer than last time to get pregnant. But then again, we feel that keeping them close in age is important. Who knows. Maybe we should play that game, "If it happens, it happens". Wouldn't that be a hoot. Three under three. Don't know if either of us could handle that.
