There are so many things I want to say to commemorate this occasion, but I find myself short on time. We have to get my mom to the airport by 5:30 AM, and it's already almost midnight.
This week has been absolutely insane. From ending up with a C-section to middle of the night feedings to baby spit up and baby poop to the sweet smell of our perfect little boy, this is one week I will never forget. Charlie is absolutely amazing. I hold him and am overwhelmed by his perfection. It is the strangest thing. He is just fascinating.
This has been a week full of firsts for all of us. Things have already changed so much, but honestly, I would not have it any different. We are completely in love with Charlie. He already has a million nicknames, and he's already so familiar to us. It's definitely been a challenge, but I also know that he will never be this small again. As a matter of fact, as I was loading all the pictures from the past week onto my computer, I got a little teary. Already!
Here are a few pictures from Charlie's first week.
Baby frog legs:
First sponge bath (with diaper):
First cloth diaper:
First tummy time:
First stroller ride:
And here is how I look at one week postpartum:
Here's to many more weeks (and years) full of Charlie goodness! What a ride this has been.
(Birth story is coming, I promise. And also, thank you so much for all your comments and support.)

I love Charlie's red hair and all of his cuteness! You look great too!
Wow he is one adorable baby! So cute!!
Okay, you know how sometimes you tell someone you really like a lot how their baby is cute, but their baby isn't that cute or it's just, y'know, a baby? This is NOT the case with Charlie. Charlie is so freakin' cute that I want to fly out there and steal him for a day. I LOVE his red hair and I think he's absolutely precious.
I hope YOU are doing okay! Sorry you had to have a C-section, I know that wasn't ideal but at least you got this cute little baby out of it! xoxox.

He is so cute, Leslie! I love his froggy legs. That was my favorite part when my kids were just born. I could imagine that's how they looked in my tummy! Dorky, I know.
I couldn't wait to see pictures of Charlie. I was dying to see what he would look like. I knew he wouldn't disappoint...he is perfection in the flesh. ADORABLE Les. I am so so happy for you guys :) And might I add not to shabby for only one week postpartum!
