The days are different

Some say that getting married makes your world turn upside down. Some say it happens when you start having kids. If I were to tell the story of our adventures and challenges it probably would be the pro log to what is to come. No matter what we do there will always be that time when we think that we are going through the hardest time, then look back and see that it was another hurdle in the path up a mountain. So I would say this: do not despair, do not think all is lost, or let your heart faint. Like Annie said - "the sun will come out tomorrow", and we will be OK.

Lately Cassidy has been the catalyst to reveal new truths about parent-parent relationships. Love is not something felt only...it is something we do!!

What happened???

So in the beginning Cassidy slept. So much so the nurses worried. Something changed. Darn. The last two nights she's been getting up much more frequently, like every hour from 1:30 am on. My watch so Daddy could sleep ang be rested for work. Tonight he got his (turn, that is). When he got home she had just gone down fir a nap, but woke only 90 minutes later. She was hungry, as is normal for her. So she ate and looked like she'd go back down. So Joe let me go to bed. She stayed up till 1:30 am, mostly fussing and crying, and spitting up. Poor Joe. He got me up around 12:30, nervous about the noises she was making and I think at a loss fir what to do to try to get her to sleep. I took over and almost immediately the fussing stopped. She was asleep with not too much work. I feel for Joe, he really got the short end tonight. Now she's stll asleep in my arm as I type this at 2:15 in the morning.

I know that at this age any smiling is 'accidental' but I can't help but say that when Cassidy smiles, especially her open mouth smile, it is the most beautiful thing in the world. I try not to look forward to the future, just enjoying today, but when she smiles I can't help but look firward to the day she smiles intentionally, for Joe and me.

Back to normal life???

Well how would you define "normal"? Joe went back to work today, while December is home with the baby Cassidy. It feels really odd not to be all together.

Joe did get to spend some time with Cassidy when he came home from work, wasn't long though before they both were found fast asleep.
