Dear Sawyer,
I clipped GuhGaw's teeny tiny fingernails when he was a newborn and I clipped JieJie's teeny tiny fingernails when she was a newborn, but that didn't make clipping your teeny tiny fingernails today for the first time any less nerve-wracking. I forgot how scared I get of cutting a newborn's finger by accident and how, with each clip, I hold my breath as if trying to diffuse a bomb. Eeesh.
Love,
Mom

One Month Old!
Dear Sawyer,
You are 1 month old today! Wait, what? How did four weeks go by already?
The past 30 days have been a blur of sometimes-painful nursing (you don't even have any teeth but geez, do you clamp down hard with your gums!), nervous diaper changes (you've only peed on me maybe two times but GuhGaw peed on me all the time during diaper changes when he was a newborn and I guess he traumatized me for life), fun baths (you seem to really enjoy bath time now), impressive tummy times (you can hold your head up so high and for a good length of time), fascinating Baby TV (I especially like to watch you while you're sleeping because you often smile in your sleep and it is so cute!) and thankfully not that much sleep deprivation (I'm not getting 8 hours of sleep or anything but you do sleep for 4- to 5-hour stretches most nights, which I'll take!).
And of course, there has been lots and lots of cuddling! Even when it's the end of the day and I'm physically and mentally exhausted and you're asleep in my arms and I should put you in your bassinet so that I can go to bed, I somehow find the energy to stay awake and hold you just a little longer. Because after all, you're only going to be this small for so long.
Love,
Mom
