Whole new respect
Man, I give kudos to all you moms that BIRTHED your babies first and then had to care for them! I am tuckered out and I didn’t even have to push this little one out! Wow…
…I was up with Joshua all night, Donald slept on this super fantastic cot. The nurse was laughing at how Donald was out and just snoring away. Donald is a pro at swaddling though, so that’s his job for now. Last night I was up at 11pm, 2am, 5am, and Donald got up to do the 8am feeding. Last night Joshua was on my shoulder after I was burping him and he turned his head to look at me, it was so cool! And then last night while I was giving him his bottle, he turned his whole head so he could look at me better! I just love this little guy, I can’t believe it. I am tired but I am so happy at the same time. I think it’s finally sinking in. Can’t wait for these first sets of papers to get signed today!

Hey now, I got up at 6:30am so you could nap through while I took care of the 8am feeding. Plus I certainly wasn’t sleeping restfully on that cot. I was so tired though! I tried to handle the 11pm bottle but Joshua wasn’t eating and I wasn’t alert enough to coax him to eat. I’ll agree with the rest orf your post, though. And you seem pretty refreshed this morning despite your lack of sleep. Great first night, sweetie!
I’ve been reading your blog for a few months now and Josh and I have been praying for you both. What a sweet face Joshua has, I must say I’m very fond of the name choice :). God is good, what a blessing! Love, Grace Fike
Congratulations!!! I am so excited for you!!! Your story gives me hope!
Congrats mama! Welcome to the world of lack of sleep - the joy abounds in it though. I’m so excited for you guys! So, does this mean when you guys come visit next month we get to meet him!?!?!? I love newborns.
