One Month Old!!!

Can you believe the Cashman is already one month old?!?!?! I can't believe he's getting so big!! It's true what they say about time passing too fast - it seems like time has flown by since we heard about all the new arrivals in the Caldwell family. Now there all here, and growing by the day!!! Motherhood has been such a blessing - one I didn't know I was going to enjoy so much. Everyone tells you how great it is, but it's something you can't truly understand until you hold that little one in your arms. That is what true love is all about.

I actually had my first experience with the "fussies" this weekend. The little man had some issues with gas and constipation. I didn't think he was ever going to sleep all weekend (we did get a little break at Uncle Kirby's surprise party on Saturday night - thankfully he slept the whole time). He was so upset with his belly hurting - it hurt my heart to see him in pain. My patience held up a lot better than I thought it would - I actually took it better than Daddy did....I think he was ready to pull his hair out by Sunday evening. All I can say is thank God for Mylicon drops and Karo syrup!!!! Those things work wonders!!! I can gratefully say that Sunday night, mommy got over 8 hours of sleep, with Cash only waking once!!! Besides his belly feeling better, I think part of it was the fact that he was absolutely exhausted. Whatever the reason - I'll take what I can get in the sleep department!! I feel like I have successfully passed my first mommy test :) :) :)
