Fatherhood Week 1
So it is official, I am a dad. This picture below kind of sums up the past week. It included a lot of firsts, nights of minimal sleep, a whole lot of diapers, staying home for a whole week, only wearing shorts all day even though it is like 20 degrees outside…
This week has been a lot easier with Corrine’s parents here. They have helped with the transition, by helping with the day shift, so Corrine and I can nap from taking the night shift. We are starting to learn the different cries and what some of them mean. So we are getting a little better with that. The first few nights, we didn’t know the difference between a “I have gas”, “I have a dirty diaper” , & “I am hungry”. So we are learning, and I guess that is the first lesson of fatherhood, “Learn from your kids, they are trying to teach you something.”
This is why I KNOW you will be an amazing father….Love you Bubba.
just when i thought i understood matthew’s cries, he changed them and now, i just guess (but pretend i know). =D
