3 Weeks Old
Today Elizabeth is 3 weeks old. I can hardly believe I have been a mom for a whole 3 weeks! Already, time is flying by-I feel like the days have suddenly become shorter and my little girl is growing bigger before my eyes! She is so sweet and fun at this age so I am trying to enjoy every moment.
I have to say that being a mom is even more rewarding and fun than I had imagined. It is definitely hard work, like everyone warned me, but the positives are tremendous. Many people talk of the joys of parenthood, but I don't think there are words to describe or do justice to the actual experience.
My poor daughter- sometimes I treat her like a little baby doll, dressing her, undressing her, brushing her hair, and snapping endless pictures. 
She is definitely "mommy's wakeup call". However, for the past two weeks she has been a pretty merciful alarm clock, for being a newborn. She has had her days and nights figured out for the past two weeks and is an unusually sound sleeper. I generally wake her up so she doesnt go too long without eating. We're on a 2 week roll; lets hope it stays this way. I suppose she sleeps at night so well because during the day she is awake for insanely long periods of time! She's not the typical newborn that sleeps all day. She's trying to act older than her age already! I foresee trouble in the future...
