3 weeks old

It seems like just yesterday that she was born; yet it also feels like she's always been with us. Lyssa has become such a part of our lives already. Her precious little noises, her sweet little faces, her complete trust- all have captured our hearts. Never were two people more in love...
We are, of course, exhausted. She is a night owl, much like her parents. Except her parents are worn out now and ready for some nightly rest while Lyssa is still trying to figure out that darkness = sleepy time. Hopefully we can train her quickly... Until then, I am treasuring every second of holding her and looking down at that sweet face, knowing she is going to change and grow much too quickly. Sleep can come later.
I am grateful every second for Matthew. He has been an incredible source of strength and support, getting up with me every feeding and taking charge of diaper changings. And when I just can't go any longer, he quietly takes over. And for that I am extremely grateful.
