Week 1 Highlights

It’s been an incredibly fast week – the speed of which I’ll write more about later in a few days. Here are some of the things that I’ll cherish and remember about the first week with Anoush in our lives:

• Hearing from so many friends and family
• Feeling very loved
• Learning to type one-handed
• Baby hiccups
• Being amazed at the capacity of the human body
• Smothering myself in lanolin (you new moms can relate)
• Moments of hormone-induced insanity – can you say Dr Jekyll and Mommy Hyde?
• First baby bath at home
• Getting accustomed to the baby sling/carrier
• Switching from disposable to cloth diapers
• So much laundry!
• Endless humming and singing to Anoush
• Looking one more time before crossing the road
• Being ridiculously excited to finally have a dirty diaper
• Listening to Jason console me about the fact that what I’m feeling (in the midst of my rollercoaster) is normal
• Being amazed and humbled by his patience, nurturing and support
