So I did not expect this to the be the second post on my blog, but now is better than ever. I hold nothing back when I say that I had mixed feelings when Brittany told me she was pregnant. I'm not a person that always handles change well, and having a kid is a slight change. I was worried about how much EVERYTHING would change for me (selfish view I know...). And then May 25, 2016 happened. That was the day that Melody was born and everything changed.
Let's just say the day's events were a bit chaotic (I'm sparing you all the details of the day but you can read about the day from Brittany's blog here), but at the end of it my little Melody entered the world. I was filled with all sorts of happy emotions and fearful emotions. When I finally got to hold Melody in my arms everything in this world changed. I suddenly knew what being a parent was all about. She just sat there quietly and I held her for what felt like an eternity and it wasn't enough. The whole hospital stay felt like it took forever, but it wasn't until we got home that I felt like my little family was on it's own. Brittany, Melody, and I were in our home and all was right with the world.
Melody has been in the world for a week, and I already feel like my entire family focus is different. Where it was just me and Brittany before, we are a complete family now. Brittany and I have settled into our little routines and we have a baby that loves to sleep. Moments like the 4 diapers in one changing episode were stressful, but it was a happy moment filled with laughter (sooooooo much poop). Brittany and I just laughed and laughed, and Melody just grinned (which meant more poop was on its way!). Who would have thought that dealing with poop and spit up could make a person happy?
So I don't mean to write this as some sort of sappy write up about Melody, (I know I know but it happened) but I wanted to share with everyone that everything in my world is a bit upside down, but completely right side up. Melody is only a week old and I wish time would slow down. I know that I look forward to complete nights of sleep and living in increments of time that are longer than 3 hours, but I know I'm going to miss everything going on right now. I also look forward to finding all the fun little onesies I can! She can't control what she wears right now.... but I can!!! Muhahahaha
So now I have the code name: Daddy
