Paola's First Month of Motherhood

Pao says motherhood has changed her for the better!

By: TLCme

It's already been a month since Russ and Paola Mayfield welcomed their little boy Axel Mayfield to the world!

In honor of this milestone, the couple shared a special message and some new adorable photos of their little man! See the full album here.

"I can’t believe my baby is one month old!" said Paola. "He has grown so much these past few weeks! I’m so grateful and happy that he is here with us, even though it hasn’t been easy with the sleepless nights, the spit ups, trying to understand his needs, waking up in the middle of the night to feed him and so much more! Even with all of that I wouldn’t change the fact that I’m his mom and that I love him with all of my heart. Seeing my baby smile at me every morning and everyday is the best reward. I know I’m doing all I can to make him happy. Since my baby was born, I was also born again as a new person."

Congratulations to the new family of three!
