Ok so for the last few nights, since my last post, sleeping has seemed more like a luxury than a routine. Maggie clearly has had her days and nights mixed up, although we sort of already knew that, when Bethany was pregnant she felt Maggie kick more at night than any other time. Around 10:oopm we would rock baby, feed her, change her diaper, and then lay her down in her bed in hopes of catching at least a couple of hours of sleep, all we caught was hours upon hours of crying and not sleeping. Boy, was I unprepared for this part of parenthood, now don't get me wrong, I wouldn't trade it for anything, but WOW! This routine of not having a routine, and not sleeping went on for 3 days. Finally last night we finally got to sleep, we slept about 2 1/2 to 3 hours at a time, which in normal times was crazy, but these days was an answer to prayer. Sleeping last night was the start to a new day I believe. Things today, Sunday, have been great. It's been raining off and on for the last few hours, so we've been camped out in the living room watching the Atlanta Braves play the Dodgers on tv. The Braves are winning. I think Maggie will like the Braves, in fact I wrote a song about it in my head.
Maggie and Daddy watching the Braves,
Jeff Francouer is one of our faves.
Sitting in the recliner drinking our milk,
watching Chipper Jones hit smooth as silk.
On first base Mark Teixiera,
when Grandma comes over I got to share ya.
Behind the plate to catch is Brian McCann,
I love to kiss Mags little hand.
Ok I'm done, yeah maybe a little corny, but like I said, we're enjoying a great day. The joys of parenthood, I know I have tons to learn, but so far the journey has been everything I'd hoped it would be.
