Did we ever tell you about the time that Hogan had a check-up on Friday and he weighed in at 16lbs, 15ozs? Yeah, he's not officially three months old and he already weighs 17 lbs.

Dear Hogan,

Today you turn one month old. I’ve been thinking about what I want to remember about this month, what I want to tell you about it and I guess the first thing is to say how absolutely amazing and terrifying and exhausting and exhilarating and overwhelming these past 4 weeks with you have been. From the moment I saw those two pink lines on that pregnancy test, I’ve been getting ready for you, reading books and arranging furniture and buying diapers but nothing prepared me for becoming your mom.

More than once, I’ve fallen apart because this is HARD kiddo. But it’s worth it. It’s so worth it, when I speak and you turn your head towards me or when I sing your lullaby and you bury your head in my neck and clutch my shoulder. Sometimes I hold you long after you’ve fallen asleep just to feel your warm breath on my neck, even though I fuss at your father for doing the exact same thing.

You love to eat. You love to sleep. You love to lay on your father’s chest and nap. I’m not sure if you love to poop, but you do it like you’re getting paid for it. More than once I’ve had to fill your bathtub and hose you off from the sheer volume of poop. You are certainly your father’s son.

I can’t believe it’s been a whole month. It seems like yesterday when I pulled off your tiny cap and exclaimed “look at all that hair!” And I can believe it’s only been a month. I hardly remember life before you. There is so much for you in this world little man, so much waiting for you. I can’t wait to see you grow, to see you sit and stand and walk. I want to watch you read books and play ball and sing and do absolutely anything your heart desires. You’re amazing, and I pray every day that I can grow to be the mother you deserve.

Welcome to the world Hogan. You’ve gonna love it.

I love you,
Mama

When I packed our bags for the hospital, I packed a number of different things for Hogan in sizes Newborn to 3-6 months. When we dressed Hogan to go home, we held him up against the 3-6 month outfit and laughed about how BIG it was and how CUTE he'd be in 3 months when he could wear it.

Last night he slept in those pajamas. Tomorrow he turns one month old. How did this happen?

I just wanted to let you guys know that I've ordered prints from Hogan's hospital pictures and they'll be here sometime next week. You can see it online by going to www.nghs.com, then clicking on Online Nursery, then Baby Websites. Enter the code 004-H1482 into the search bar, and it'll bring up Hogan's picture. I can't believe how much different he looks now!

Road Trip!

Saturday, Hogan trekked down to Gigi and Granddad's house, all the way in Alpharetta. Pretty exciting, huh?

Hogan had his two week check up on Monday. He weighed in at a whopping 9 lbs 6oz. He's 20.5 inches long, but I don't know if he's grown or if he's just stretching out.

Also, he finally discovered the mobile above his crib. He stared at it for 20 minutes yesterday morning and whimpered everytime it stopped moving. I have, of course, saved the moment for posterity.

In the beginning

I can't believe Hogan will be two weeks old tomorrow. It seems like he came home only yesterday, and at the same time I have a hard time believing there was ever a time when he wasn't here.

I'm going to try to keep this space up to date with Hogan pics and news. It might be everyday, it might be once a week, depending on the amount of sleep I can get, and thereby be able to focus on the keyboard. Also, Heather Anne will be creating a lovely layout soon. Cause she's awesome, that's why.

Happy Saturday all.
