pause.

Well we are approaching our first month with our precious little lady and life has never been sweeter. Never could I have ever imagined the capacity of love I would feel for this little being. She has completely taken over our lives and hearts! We are still in shock that she's actually ours! Evan was holding her the other day and said to me "I can't believe we don't have to give her back. She's ours!" How lucky did we get? It just melts me.
I can't believe it's already been a month. It all is so clear now when moms have said that time goes by so fast. I get it now, and quite frankly, I don't like it! How I would love to pause this time where we just hang out and snuggle all day. Where I don't need to worry about sleeping schedules or starting bad habits. Where it's completely ok to let her sleep on me all day (I've had numerous books and blogs give me permission that it's ok at this stage). I know there is  so much fun ahead, but it tugs at my heart to think that these days are numbered.
Although I must admit, as she starts to track us with her eyes and smile (I don't care if it's gas) and be more alert throughout the day, it's exciting to think about each milestone that lies ahead.

Of course, we have approximately 5,396 pictures of Sydney at this point, but here are some of my favorites:
