Today I decided to start my own blog. I hope in the future it will be interesting to look back and read what I was thinking each day and what was happening in our lives. It is too bad that I did not start blogging while I was pregnant and when my son Daniel was born 10 weeks ago. There is so much that goes through a woman's mind when she is pregnant. And after giving birth it is SO easy to forget - Mumnesia :)

My life right now is centered around one thing and one thing only - my baby son Daniel Alexander Cole who was born March 12th, on his due date. He was 8lbs exactly and 20.5 inches. Here he is at 3 days of age, one of the first pictures we took when we got home:




However, he managed to gain 3 lbs each month since birth, so he was 14lbs a week ago at his 2-months check-up. My mum says that I am a good milk cow :) He is a very good baby - sleeps 9-10 hours at night which made me human again :) But during the day it is sometimes hard to put him down for a nap inside. So I have to take him for couple of walks a day in the neighborhood park and he sleeps there wonderfully. The walks have actually been good for me as I am down to my prepregnancy weight already. Also, he is extremely talkative and funny, I enjoy him very much! In the mornings he does not cry when he wakes up, he just talks very loudly and smiles when I come to him and undo his swaddling cloth. And he smells so good!!! When do they stop smelling like that? I hope not for a while... because I am seriously addicted :)
