So I definitely do not have a newborn anymore. I have an old born! Haha! Man oh man how time is flying so quickly that my mind can barely comprehend that I have a 4 month old! Four months ago I was so eager for him to get to this point and now that he is, I'm feeling a bit nostalgic to the day he was born.
