It’s Friday, but it barely feels like it. \u00a0I’m not sure if it because I haven’t breathed outside air since Wednesday morning, or if it because I am so sleep deprived that I was just unsure what day it was at all – but here we are. \u00a0Friday. \u00a0And it’s a good one.<\/p>\n
1. \u00a0MY SON – I think you saw this one coming. \u00a0My baby boy was born this week and although I’m sleep deprived, sore and wanting to be at home rather than in a hospital for the third night in a row, I am elated. \u00a0In love. \u00a0Head over heels. \u00a0Smitten. \u00a0Wes is such a sweet little boy. \u00a0He has charmed the pants off the nurses, who steal him from me at every opportunity. \u00a0He also seems to have won over our friends and family who have popped in for visits over the past couple of days.<\/p>\n
His sleep schedule is still a little off – but at just 60 hours old now, that’s to be expected. \u00a0As I type this, he is happily dozing beside me. \u00a0Why am I not sleeping you ask? \u00a0Well, my whole sleep schedule is actually more off than his. \u00a0The nurses here, though amazing and BEYOND helpful, have a knack for coming into the room mere minutes after I fall asleep. \u00a0Every. Single. Time. And once I’m awake, I’m awake.<\/p>\n
2. \u00a0GOING HOME – Tomorrow. \u00a0You never appreciate home more than when you’ve been away. \u00a0Especially when you’ve been away at the hospital. \u00a0Though they take good care of you, I miss my house. \u00a0My bed. \u00a0My kitchen. \u00a0My couch. \u00a0And most of all, My Jaia. \u00a0She’s been at the hospital every day, but it’s not the same. \u00a0I long to lay with her and read a book or draw a picture to hang on the fridge. \u00a0I can’t wait.<\/p>\n
3. \u00a0BIG SISTER PARTY – Cake is ordered. \u00a0My mom has taken care of all the details. \u00a0Tomorrow at noon, we’ll be celebrating Jaia as a big sister. \u00a0She sort of knows about it but will still be so surprised. \u00a0Pictures will follow.<\/p>\n
4. \u00a0BABY FEET – They make me happy. \u00a0No explanation necessary.<\/p>\n
5. \u00a0RESEMBLANCE – Wes looks exactly like Jaia did when she was born. \u00a0I mean, identical. \u00a0It’s kind of creepy. \u00a0So much so that I’ve actually referred to him as ‘her’ a few times. \u00a0But it makes me happy. \u00a0I’d hoped they would look at least a little alike and I got my wish. \u00a0So awesome.<\/p>\n
Ok, since Dan and Wes are both sawing logs in the room with me, I might as well try to sleep too, that is until the nurse comes in. \u00a0\ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
