it is completely incredible. i have never felt so alive. so amazed. so blessed. so in love. in response to all of the inquiries as to how we are doing?we are sleepy, sore (unbelievably sore), at home, frazzled and learning. we haven't managed to clean, organize or go grocery shopping (thanks to my sissers for much needed essentials and such). we are getting used to midnight beckonings. we havent figured out how to sleep when he sleeps. im scared of hurting his nethers when changing him. and Jamie is still learning positioning for burping and changing and loving and sleeping. he is such a natural. immediately it was about caring for his son, and he is phenomenal. I am learning. and trying. i appreciate the million visitors at the hospital (i apologize for being doped up...but....the whole thing hurt man).thank you guys for your support and love. we appreciate and love you for it!oh yes...one more thing. i have never experienced a happiness or love like this. it is completely incredible. completely incredible. i thank the lord for this.
Beautiful. I love your breath-taking honesty!
ReplyDeleteReading your words brings back so many personal memories for me as well;)
Bet you can hardly wait to experience it all over again! What a true blessing.
ironically, i posted this entry early on feb 15th. i was looking through old blog posts searching for ones of a friend who passed 02.15.2006 (who we were going to middle name our daughter after. if youll notice, the timestamp is 2.25am, and we had a scheduled induction for 02.21 due to an "uncooperative cervix" (same as my julian.)
ReplyDeletebut at 3am, just 30 minutes after posting this, my labor began, and we all met her shortly after :) God has tricky ways of working, and 02.15 is now never to be a sad day again.
