A common question asked of us is “Are you getting any sleep?” Or “How are you handling the lack of sleep?” Or “Sleep deprived yet?” Most people are shocked to hear that we are actually getting a good amount of sleep considering we have a new born. Sure, Rowan will wake up during the night to feed but that is to be expected. And he can get a little cranky around 11 PM but that doesn’t last long.  Besides, it’s good for a baby to cry a little. Helps give the lungs a need workout. Mama T and I have always gone to bed sometime between midnight and 1 AM so even with the short cranky spell we’re still in bed around our normal time.
Wow, almost two weeks have gone by since Rowan was born and I haven’t written a single thing. Of course I have a lot less time to spend on the computer these days. It is hard to type while breastfeeding I must admit. I think the biggest reason I have not written though is that I just don’t know where to start! How do I put all of the feelings and emotions of the past two weeks in to words? Rowan’s birth was such an amazing event and the happiness that I feel because of it brings tears to my eyes. Every time I look at him I just can’t believe that he came from inside of me…and that Kirby and I made him. We waited so long to hold him and see what he would look like. Being pregnant isn’t that fun but I can’t believe how quickly I have forgotten about all the aches and pains it brought. All I think about now is how much I love Rowan and how amazing it is that he is now in our lives.
As you can probably tell from this picture I’ve been too busy to post pictures. But I didn’t mean to wait an entire week before posting more. Sorry about that.
