Quick Update
I wanted to let everybody know that everything is going pretty well, all things considered:
- We’re home!
- Daniel is very healthy
- Mama’s blood pressure is good
- We’re slowly figuring all this out
- We’re completely in love with the little guy
But:
- We’re going through the new parent “freak out” stage
- We’re having to really adjust to everything
- We’re completely exhausted
We’re NOT trying to be antisocial – it’s just sort of working out to be that way right now. Give me (Papa) a quick call on the mobile phone any time for updates and questions about visits, etc. I’m going to try to post some more pictures of the little fella soon. We’re just trying to get the sleep thing figured out at the moment.
God has really blessed us, not just with such a perfect little boy, but also with all the friends and family that have expressed so much love for our little clan. We appreciate everything very, very much, but just ask for a little understanding if we’re not able to show that gratitude very well right now! I did want everyone to know how grateful we were, and that we really will get around to making a formal declaration of the same eventually. 🙂
Thank you! We love you! And we love our little boy. 🙂
Heather, Congratulations. We are so thankful that everything went well. Hope you get some good sleep soon. This stage will pass and you will be a well rested person soon enough. Jason and I used to do the following to help the sleep situation along. I would get up on Monday and Tuesday. He would get up for night feedings on Wednesday (you can pump your milk). I would get up on Thursday and then we would switch off for Friday and Saturday nights. I know it doesn’t seem like a big deal but that one night a week (on Wednesday) saved my life!!! I was a crazy person without having him help on Wednesdays (especially at my age….I was 37)! Just a suggestion. Call me if you need some quick solutions! Love, Kelly (the hamper and hangers girl).
