The Bottom Line A brief account of how my life changed; For the better.
On Wednesday July 5, 2006 my wife and I entered a new world, the world of being parents. At 10:22 am our beautiful baby girl was born by c-section. She weighted 8 lbs. 7 oz. and was 20 inches. At that moment our lives changed, we were now parents to a life that wasn’t Boo-Boo the cat. Life couldn’t be better. After the Baby was born and the Neo-Natologist took a look at her, Mom got to see what 9 months of waiting produced. Mom was so happy she started to cry. A tear of happiness came to my eye too. Next stop for baby was the waiting room. The rest of my baby’s family was waiting in the waiting room. The only exception to this was Boo-Boo was not allowed in. He had to wait at home. All the grandparents and aunts were there to greet the welcomed addition to the family. After meeting her family my little girl was taken to the nursery for a real cleaning, a shot of something, and for observation. The little champ did well. Eventually mom got to come up from the recovery room and then baby was taken to mom. Everyone was still around and all were happy. Over the next few days many visitors and gifts arrived. Sunday finally came around. This was the day of baby’s first car ride. She and mom got to go home. Mom was relieved to be out of the hospital and baby probably didn’t realize what happened. On the other hand her big furry brother knew he was now no longer the “only child in the house.” At first he kept his distance form the baby but he started warming up to her. I could tell that he was hurt by the new arrival. To help him get over this my wife and I still give him the love and attention that he always received; a lot. Besides Boo-Boo needing to adjust my wife and I do too. Our little bundle of joy is very demanding and we knew that would happen before we started trying for a child. Life has changed. We now put our little precious’ needs ahead of ours. We eat on her schedule and sleep on hers too; at least my wife does. I think I have forgotten what sleep is. When the baby wakes up, I do too. For now, while my wife still recovers, I try to handle the baby’s needs. My wife does the feeding but I do the rest. After putting the baby back down I stay up listening to her. I just worry about her. I want to make sure she is alright. I don’t mind the lack of sleep. I would rather make sure baby is happy before I am. Anyway way I don’t know what else to say at this time except for I love my baby and my wife too. Thanks for reading Brett PS: I love Boo too.  |
