Brooke, Clarke Littles
/
May 7, 2015

1 Month Old

1 MonthI cannot believe it has been a month since Brooke was born. I just want to freeze time and enjoy every second of her being this little. It probably feels extra fast since she was in NICU for almost a week, so technically she has only been home for a little over three weeks. My mom stayed with us the first week she was in NICU. My mom was a tremendous help getting us through the first few days of little sleep, me healing and the stress of NICU. Then, Kevin’s mom came and stayed the second week with us and helped us get all settled in as a family of three. After that, my mom came back and stayed the third week with us. I loved having our moms here not only to help, but also to enjoy this precious time with us.

However, I have loved these past two weeks with just me, Kevin and Brooke, during the week, even more (& our parents on the weekend.. they just can’t get enough of Brooke). I could spend all day just looking at her and snuggling with her. & I pretty much do. Overall, she is an awesome baby and I couldn’t be more thankful to be her mommy. She already has a little personality and I can’t wait to see it blossom more.

    She is so precious! I had to smile when I saw that she strongly dislikes 10-11pm because my daughter Hadley did too around that age. It was rough, but she’s a great sleeper now. So glad you’re soaking up some quiet time with her. Those baby snuggles are unlike anything else!

  • We snuck in a little getaway the past few days at @thesanluisresort in Galveston, Texas. 

We were blown away with how this gem is so close to home and we didn’t even realize. 

From the moment you walk in the door, you just feel like it’s an elevated coastal escape. 

It’s very luxurious for adults, yet fun for kids. The views from our room were incredible and we could spend all day at their pool (it’s has the most serene vibe).

They also have daily kid-friendly activities and with their Island Explorer package - you get passes to Pleasure Pier.

All of us had such a good time and can’t wait to go back!
