6 Months Later

It's hard to believe that 6 months ago Justin weighed 14.5 ozs, 10.25 inches and now weighs 8 lbs 1 oz, 18.75 inches.

1 week old

6 months

Most new moms will probably say that motherhood is an absolute joy from the day their child is born. I wish the same could be said for me. Don't get me wrong, I love my little guy with all my heart, but motherhood has been much harder than I expected. Perhaps its because I have 10 times the worries/issues of the mother of a healthy full term baby. But over the past month I've gotten to the point where I can finally relax and start enjoying being a mom. And I must say it's been GREAT!

  1. He is such a beautiful baby. I think he looks just like you in that picture.

  2. I have to agree that Justin has reached the point where I feel like he's "a real boy" [to quote a line from PINOCCHIO]. Richard and I certainly enjoyed babysitting him yesterday. :-)

  4. Yeah...I feel the same way.. We can relax and enjoy him now.. because he's not so fragile. He was cute to look at before - but now he's fun to play with. Glad you can finally enjoy him.

  5. Georgina and Carl, well done. You're probably "over the hump now." Justin's beginning to look a lot like you, Georgina. Enjoy your baby! You'll have much to offer in a show of support to other parents of preemies.
