Has It Been a Month Already? February 10, 2007
Adam turned one month old today. It’s a bit hard for me to believe.
Things have been going a bit better the past few days. The frequency of hard feeds has decreased, and that’s done wonders for both Adam’s and my frustration levels.
I am just so in love with our little guy, and he brings me unmeasurable joy. It’s amazing to watch how much he’s changed in a month’s time. He’s an incredible little man.
You know, I often wondered while we were in the midst of all of the IVF stuff why it just didn’t work the first time or second time or heck, even the sixth time. I couldn’t understand why we were dealt the multiple failed cycle hand or why we had to face multiple losses along the way. Well, I get it now. If we didn’t go through all of that then we wouldn’t have Adam. He’s the one we were waiting for all of that time. It had to be him.

He is just beautiful. And I know the love of which you speak. I have said time and time again that during our seven years of infertility I could not imagine why it wouldn’t work…just once. But when it did work…it was the best one of all ;)
glad things have gotten better. I used to sing “Baracuda” everytime my daughter latched on because she was sooo hungry and it felt like by the time I stopped feeding her she was ready again. A bit of a cluster feeder…but once we got through a few rough spots it was fine.
Best of luck and he really is beautiful!
He is looking lovely, amanda, and I’m so pleased that the feeding is getting a bit easier. Despite the hard times, you sound very happy, and it’s lovely to hear you that way.
exactly, exactly! I said the same thing when I “met” Amanda - I said “so YOU are who we’ve been waiting for!” If any of the previous attempts had worked, we would have had a different baby and not her, and I cannot imagine my life without her.
He is beautiful, Amanda - congrats! The time truly does fly. Wait until he is 3 months old - he’ll be a completely different baby, it is the strangest transformation!
He’s so cute Amanda!
Amanda, he is beautiful! I’m glad things are getting better…it just keeps getting more and more fun.
He is beautiful. You worked so hard to achieve this happiness, enjoy every moment! I’m curious, who does he look like?
He is Cute! Congratulations - my daughter (adopted) is 4 months today and while I cherish each day, I cant wait for the next! Thanks for the pictures! OH, I cant belive he is not crying in the tub! My daughter cried for the first 2 months each time she went in - thankfully it is MUCH better now! She loves the water - Maggie
What a great way to look at all those hard times.
He is beautiful!
No, it can’t be a month! He is adorable Amanda! :-) Glad things are getting some what easier, they get to be fun in a few months, real fun!
Oh yeah, you should change your ticker to say how old he is now! :-)
What an adorable little guy–such a blessing!
What a handsome little guy : )
I think the last photo is my favorite.
Happy month, little family : )
Look at that face!! He is so so so sweet. Enjoy him, I hope things keep getting better day by day.
I love your positive attitude, and only wish that I could share it.
I, on the other hand, feel like I was *supposed* to have my twins. That no hypothetical future baby I might have could ever make up for their loss. That this is all some cosmic mistake.
(Adam’s adorable, by the way. But you already knew that)
He’s so cute! I’ve thought the same thing–if treatments had worked earlier, we might have a little boy, his name would be the same as P’s, he might even look like P. But he wouldn’t be the unique person that is P.
He is just beautiful. I’m so glad things are getting easier. Even if they are hard, you’re allowed to be frustrated. Just because it took so long to get him doesn’t mean it can’t be hard. Just remember that. The pictures are gorgeous! Thanks so much.
He’s so adorable. Makes me almost want another. It looks like he has Daddy’s hair.
He is stunningly perfect!!! So beautiful. I know everybody says that about babies, but your son is amazing! Those eyes are so expressive, and his hair…well compared to my daughter he at least HAS hair LOL poor thing is suffering from “baby pattern baldness” or some fancy doctor word meaning that!
And the nursing will get easier, but if you want to talk I’m glad to share what little I know (basically nothing LOL, I think the babies know more than I do!).
You mentioned he “woke up” around his due date…isn’t that the truth?! Adara was the same way! Slept almost constantly until weeks after her due date!! She was “growing,” I have proof…she’s now HUGE :-)
He is so perfect!
This is exactly what I needed to hear. Now when the months linger on and we wait for my husband’s biopsy, then hopefully wait to start treatments, and get frustrated with how horrible this whole thing is I’ll remind myself of your words. We’re just waiting for the baby meant for us!
He is beautiful! I think you are right about having to wait for the right baby!
Take care
He is beautiful and you sound so happy. It makes me joyous to hear it in your voice. You deserve so much Amanda and I hope that things just continue to get better and better.
“It had to be him.”
Oh, crap, Amanda, now you’ve gone and made me cry. That was beautiful, he is beautiful, it’s all so good. I’m so happy for you all.
What an absolutely beautiful baby. What a beautiful post.
Thanks for sharing.

Wow, a month already. I’m so glad you share him with us.
He’s beautiful - thanks for sharing the photos. I can’t believe it’s been a month already! Wishing all three of you decades of milestones to celebrate.
So happy to see some pics.
He looks happy and healthy, you are doing a great job.
Adam was definitely worth the wait. :)
I soooo get where you’re coming from with this post.
Hours after having J, the husband looked me in the eyes and said “with all that we’ve been through, I wouldn’t change a thing. If I did, we wouldn’t have her. It wouldn’t be her.”
Right then, I think I fell in love with him all over again. And now, not a day goes by when I don’t fall in love with him again and again…watching him with J, and now, watching him with the newest bundle of love.
So yes, had we changed a thing, we wouldn’t have her…either one. And I wouldn’t trade them for anything in the world.
He is so beautiful! Love the pictures. Keep them coming!
