One Month

Fourth of July and Week 3 009

Harrison was officially one month old yesterday. Four weeks feels like four days, yet it is truly amazing at how fast he has grown and how many changes we have already noticed. Every day truly is a blessing and a learning experience. Below are some of the things that I have learned through these first four weeks - enjoy!
  • Whoever said "sleep is overrated" never had a newborn
  • Little boys really do "spray" and the little pee blockers don't work!
  • Dressing a baby is like trying to dress a snake
  • 40 diapers in a week, seriously!
  • Baby monitors are a blessing and a curse
  • There are no such things as "plans"
  • Mothers are saints - especially breastfeeding moms.
  • Seeing your little boy when you come home from a busy day puts all your day's worries into perspective
  • A baby sleeping on your chest on a Sunday afternoon is as good as it gets
  • Hearing your child cry and not being able to do anything can break your heart
  • Looking into his eyes and seeing an All-American or First Round Draft Pick is inevitable, remembering he has your athletic genes is reality
  • As cliche as it is, fatherhood is truly the greatest and scariest experience all rolled into one...and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Oh, you wise child!
Love your commentary.

PS I warned you about the baby monitors, right?

Love, your mother
