Approaching my first week as a father and slowly coming to realize that this little bundle of a blessing is not just some cute baby that we just fell in love with who we just happen to be taking care of. This is actually OUR child. WOW!
I'm sure Trey told you about his first day at home. And what a day that was. It seemed like everything was all good at the hospital. Trey behaving and "playing nice" in front of all the nurses and doctors and visitors coming in and out of the room. But it seemed like as soon as we crossed the threshold of our front door, all hell broke loose.
Its kinda tough dealing with a crying baby when you don't know what's causing him pain or discomfort. Talking to my boys with kids have helped a lot though. One funny (well not so funny.... wait, yes it is.) thing about my son already is that he's got the crazy legs... meaning whenever we change him he'll start kicking his feet like crazy. I mean it's a challenge holding the legs together with one hand while raising him up to change the diaper with the other. But that's not THE funny part. He just got circumsized a few days ago so his parts are sore and tender. Every now and then when he's being changed, one of those lil legs will slip out of my hand and start kicking... then the heel of one of his feet will inadvertently make contact with the sore spot. That's when the screaming elevates to a whole new level. The funny thing is he has NO idea he's doing this to himself... Like I said, Funny, but not really, but funny. Not to worry family, he's a tough little kid. He's doing well. I just gotta work on my diaper-changing technique... (or put more padding down there).

ReplyDeleteHey man, but I know the coolest thing (or at least one of the greatest feelings I know). And only a parent feels it. It's that feeling when you are the only one awake and standing over Trey, looking down and looking at that little head poking out of the covers thinking to yourself, "That's MY son!" Then...you hold him and let him sleep on your chest and you are just trying to lie still so as to not disturb his slumber. Feeling that itty bitty body in your hands and smelling that 'new' baby scent. (Too bad they don't make that in an air refreshener) "Man, that's MY son!" What a feeling, right?
