Scarlett ~
I find it so hard to believe that the very first week of your life has already flown by. It is so surreal to me that in a matter of minutes you entered our lives and it's already as if you've been here forever. We have enjoyed you so much in such a short time. You have met numerous family members and friends. You've already had your first trips to the doctor, Target, and WonderLab. You have been doted on by your big brother more than you will ever know. 
And it's only been a week, one short little week, and your mama already feels like it's flying by too fast. I find myself trying to get you used to sleeping in your cradle instead of being held or put in your swing. But then I think to myself, "Why?"
And it's only been a week, one short little week, and your mama already feels like it's flying by too fast. I find myself trying to get you used to sleeping in your cradle instead of being held or put in your swing. But then I think to myself, "Why?" Why rush it? Why not just enjoy the fact that you are here, and that you are ours? Why not enjoy the fact that you'll never be this little again, and that you'll never fit against my chest so perfectly once you get bigger? 
You are my constant reminder to slow down and just enjoy things the way that they are. My reminder to sit and hold you while you sleep and be content. My reminder to take note of the way you look in your big bothers arms as he leans down to give you kisses or "noses." You are my reminder, Sweet Girl, that everything I have hoped and dreamed for is right here in my arms, and right now I don't think life could be any better than this.

Such a sweet, perfect letter to your little girl! Definitely heed those reminders to not be in a hurry for her to grow up or become more independent. Before you know it she'll be walking across the room to you!
That is so sweet! I can't believe it's been a week already, she still is so tiny! Cant wait to meet her!
She is so beautiful and you guys looks so happy together!
I totally agree with your "Why Rush" comment. Just hold her as much as you please.
