We are definitely in love with the latest addition to our family. J5 is seven weeks today and I can’t imagine life without him. All stages of a child’s life have their own beautiful and unique characteristics, but for me there is something particularly special about a newborn baby – finally meeting this wonderful new person after nine months of anticipation; getting to know their personality; watching the adoration of his siblings and the feeling of awe and amazement that you have created something so perfect.
Here are some things that I am enjoying about our new baby at the moment:
- The sounds of contentment that he makes when he is sleeping peacefully.
- The smell of his freshly bathed skin.
- His reaction when he has four other little faces crowded around his.
- The sounds of his hunger subsiding as he nurses.
- His first smiles and the way they melt your heart.
- Feeling his beautifully soft skin against mine.
- Watching his eyes gently flutter as he falls off to sleep.
- The vague stare he gives me when he is tired.
- The warmth his little body radiates when he is in my arms.
There is just so much to enjoy!

Oooh, I completely agree! The newborn stage is beyond delightful! They’re such cuddly, sweet-smelling, delicious little things, and it’s so much fun getting to know them!
ooooh gorgeous small bubba goodness…. Just wonderful. You’re making me seriously think about having another!
I wish there was a way to have a cyber cuddle!!! I LOVE newborn babies!!! I’d have a whole tribe if it weren’t for the pregnancy, birth and the fact that they grow up!

I am *not* clucky, and anyone who says otherwise is severely mistaken!
But… how beautiful.
I do miss my children at the newborn stage.
