Change- and I don't mean nickels and dimes
Captain Obvious speaks great wisdom- Alot can change in a very short time. It seems not too long ago that anything going on at 3:30 AM would involve several adult beverages, some rowdy friends and several embarrasing stories. Fast forward a few years and I'll paint you a picture of 3:30 AM (now) for new parents- take one beautiful, wide awake 7 week old, add two backs tired from walking laps around the house for 45 minutes, add in a dose of resignation to no sleep, a bag of Baked Ruffles , some toast with jam and Lego Star Wars II (mommy's favorite video game), and here we sit.
So maybe that is an atypical 3:30 am for all new parents, but it is working for us. It is hard to believe our little peanut has already been with us for 7 weeks- it feels like we have known her forever, and it also feels like we just got home from the hospital. I wish I had been better about posting some notes in that time as it has been a great adventure already. When I am more coherent, perhaps I will add in some retrospective ponderings. For now, I will commit to more frequent posts- for my own record of what this has been. We are loving it..we are worn out..but we are loving it. For now- enjoy a pic or two of little Miss Amelia engrossed with some video gameage (Daddy is very proud- Lego, Star Wars and video games..she's off to a great start!)
