My little Amelia,
Right now you are lying in my bed next to Eleanor and you are making the cutest little noises. I've never seen a newborn make so many noises. You have a noise for everything. Right now you are making the softest little purrs. Yesterday while you were sleeping in my arms you laughed so hard and loud! It was the cutest thing! I really don't want to wish any time away, but hearing you laugh made me anxious for you to get a little older and to see your little personality come through.
Yesterday was the first day you were a little fussy. I felt so bad for you. I could tell you had a little tummy ache. Your little face would turn bright red and you would let out a loud cry. Bless your little heart!
The night before last we were in the car coming back from dinner and I think your car seat strap was too tight because you were crying so hard. Aunt Amy was in the back seat with you and she could hardly stand it. You have never cried so hard! After Amy loosed the strap you stopped crying, but you were making such those sad noises. It really did break every one's heart.
Aunt Amy was here all last week. It was so hard for her to not see you your first few weeks! She fell in love with you. It's so easy for people to fall in love with because you are so easy.
A few cute things about you:
You love to be held out in front of people on their lap with both hands around your shoulders and neck (I'm not sure if that makes sense or not). I held you like that in the hospital because it was so fun to just look at you. In fact, Mimi, Aunt Sara and my friend Lori have all said the same thing.
You also like to be held like that but with your head all the way back. It makes everyone nervous, especially dad.
Within the last two days you are starting to be more aware of your surroundings. I was kissing your neck the other day and you started smiling. It was the cutest thing!
Tomorrow you will be 4 weeks old! I hate that time is going by too fast! I get sad thinking that my pregnancy, labor and delivery and now the first few weeks of your life have come and gone. At least I have many many years to look forward to.
I Love you!
Love,
Mom

Almost Three Weeks..
Dear Amelia,
I can't believe that tomorrow you will be three weeks old! I was talking to Dad last night and telling him that although we've only had you in our lives for three weeks, I really could not imagine life without you. You really have the sweetest little spirit about you. You are always so calm and easy. I can't seem to get enough of you. It really hurts not holding you all the time! I can't handle putting you down to even make dinner! I think you've gotten a little used to my obsession of holding you. Today you cried and cried when I put you down and stopped right when I picked you up. Dad said you did the same thing this morning when he was leaving for work. You were in your little bed just grunting away and so he picked you up and you stopped. Unfortunately, he had to go to work so he put your back in your bed. Right away you started your little grunts again. I LOVE your grunts! It's funny because most moms have to learn their babies cries, but not me. I have gotten to learn your grunts.
You keep getting prettier and prettier every day. Yesterday we were at the grocery store and a lady stopped and asked if she could look at you. She said you were the most beautiful baby and called her friend over to have her look at you. Your complexion is getting darker and your skin is so soft! I have a feeling you might grow up to have blue or hazel eyes. I hope I'm right. I'd never thought I'd have a little girl with blue or hazel eyes!! Its totally fitting for you to have hazel eyes, the same color as your Dad. When people see you, the first thing they say is that you are totally your Dad! It's true, you look just like him! I think your Dad LOVES it every time he hears that!
Amelia, everyday I feel so lucky to have you! I don't want to wish anytime away with you! I've enjoyed you so much as a newborn!! Everyday you are changing and I want to make sure I get to cherish as must time with you as possible!
Love you tons!!

My Dream Baby
Dear Amelia,
Today, you are one week and 3 days old. I already feel like time is going by way too fast! The other night I was in the kitchen getting dinner and I got so sad thinking that my pregnancy, labor and delivery were all over. I just want to make sure I enjoy every moment possible with you.
You really are my dream baby. I tell everyone how perfect you are! Right before you were born, I started getting a little nervous and freaking out that your delivery would be like Eleanor's. I told Dad, "If this is like Eleanor's, this will be our last kid". Well, you made your way into this world just like your personality, calm and easy. Right after you were born Dad asked, "So, does this mean we get to have another one?". Yes, of course!
You really are so pleasant. Already, you are only waking up 2 times at night. If you weren't right next to my bed, I don't think I would be able to hear you. Rather than crying, you just make the cutest little grunting sounds. I've also found out you do not like your arms to be swaddled. Instead, you prefer to sleep with your little arms over your head. And already, you've decided to you like to sleep on your side.
Yesterday was a big day for you. We took you with us to breakfast, to drop Mimi off at the airport, to Costco and to Target. While in Costco you got a little fussy so I took you out to the car to feed you, but discovered you had a blow out. You were a good sport about getting your diaper changed and getting put into your car seat with only a diaper on. I was just glad Dad was there to help out with Eleanor.
Eleanor has taken quite the liking to you. She loves to "pet" you. Yesterday you were laying in your bassinet and Eleanor peaked over and said, "oh your so cute. Mom, get the camera. She's so cute". The other day she told me she wanted to hold you like I do and walk around with you. I have a feeling she is going to be a very protective bigger sister.
Amelia, I am so thankful to have you in our family. I really feel so blessed to be your mother and have you for a daughter. I told Dad yesterday that I really do love being a Mom. Thank you so much for being such a sweet little baby. I love you more and more each day, and I never thought that was possible!!
Love always,
Mom
