Newborn Life
observations and changes now that I'm a first-time father with a newborn:
- I no longer sleep, I take power naps
- I'd be crying all the time too If I pissed myself 8-12 times a day
- pack it, just in case
- laundry, laundry, laundry every other day day day
- boobs are now... fountains of life
- eat whenever you have a chance
- every moment matters. enjoy.
That's it for now... Nap Time for daddy.

My Baby Girl
I just had to put an entry to bookmark the biggest moment of my life right now. As you can tell from the picture to your right... I'm a father! I'm overwhelmed, tired, but also crazy excited that I had to blog about it at 1am in the morning.
That's it for now. I'm sure this will be the first of many blogs about this new chapter of life.
And before I forget, thanks to all those who left any type of facebook lovin'. it really means so much, and they really are so very encouraging. it's almost like fuel that helps us to keep going despite how drained and tired we are (and it's only been 2 days!) so keep the love comin'!
p.s. I'M A DAD!
a life less complicated
Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.
-Elizabeth Stone
It's a quote I heard from Mass this past Sunday. With fatherhood coming any moment now, I've been in reflection mode a bit. Trying to squeeze more meaning out of everything that has lead to this anxious feeling I have in meeting "my heart" outside my body.
If there's something I've learned... it's that Love is a Decision. Not something you fall into, not something that happens by chance. But rather something that you decide every moment to live. So just like Gracee and I decided to love one another all the days of our lives, we are again deciding to live that love in having a child.
I've learned that love really is a simple thing. Just decide. Every moment.
With my baby girl on the way, it'll make my life even simpler. She'll be my beautiful reminder of my decision. Every moment.
