Huey has been in our lives for four weeks today. It already feels like he was just always around. Even though we were both convinced that we were having a girl, there is very little grief for that lost imaginary baby. Huey is just our baby, an integral part of our little family.
I really wanted to write a proper post about Huey - the little things we have noticed about him, the way he has slotted into our day to day life. But the reality is that I barely get any time in front of the computer, and when I do, it is usually one handed because the other hand is busy helping Huey breastfeed! I hope that I get a chance to write something soon, before these precious newborn days disappear into a mist of tiredness and busy-ness.
Just one thing though - today, at 4 weeks exactly, Huey gave me his first genuine, awake smile. I melted. bean has been telling me he has been giving her little secret smiles for weeks, but I didn’t really believe her until today. Our Huey, the early smiler! Our babies are just so advanced, of course. Sadly we didn’t catch the moment on camera, so I’ll leave you with yet another photo of him doing that thing he does so well - sleeping.
that is one relaxed baby. i love the hiked up shirt and sprawling limbs. he’s gorgeous. and his hair continues to be fantastic.
can i ask if you and bean used the same donor?

yep, he sure is our adorable relaxabub! both boys do indeed have the same donor - an old friend of mine (who, incidentally, is expecting his own baby with his wife in January!). We think they have the same chin…
