Our Ethan was born 5 weeks ago today. I am exhausted! Happy, but exhausted. Since I last wrote, my sister was here for a her visit (yes she was here for the birth), my in-laws came for 3 days as soon as she left and when they left, my father & step mother arrived for a 8 day visit. Our first weekend alone wasn't until 2 weeks ago and since then, we've been trying to find our way as new parents alone with the baby.
Wayne went back to work full time after my Dad left and my days have been crazy busy with trying to handle it all on my own. Today is a good day - not only did I get to shower before Wayne got home, but I'm actually blogging as well. I'm actually getting over that painful hump of sleep deprivation and chaos and into just sleep deprived and really busy. I have to say that it's all very worth it because Ethan is the light of my life and I just love being a Mom. Even on my worst day - I absolutely love it and can't get enough of his little face!
Wayne has been really amazing. He's such a natural Dad and is great with Ethan - it's been a real joy to watch and I feel so blessed to finally have the family I have always wanted. This whole experience has been just wonderful and I hardly remember life without him.
He's very sweet. I'm sure you have heard this a million+ times but do enjoy these months, (and it sounds like you are), because they grow up so FAST! Keep posting those cute photos :)
