Reflection thus far . . .

So, Kristen and Keegan are feeding...I thought I would do some blogging (for her)

I am calling this my "Reflection thus far..."

Keegan:

  • He is the joy of our lives.
  • He loves his hands or arms free when swaddled. It is a challenge for him to get free. His shoulder is usually pulled out of his pj's (evidence that he tried to get his arms free).
  • He loves his hands in his face.
  • When startled, his arms go straight up (making a touchdown sign). This is a given, he will do it everytime!
  • He loves managing to get his socks off.
  • He isn't a fan of hats. Why mess up the great hair?!?!
  • Car rides of course make him sooo sleepy!
  • He likes kicking his blanket off when he is in the bouncer...must be the soccer in him!
  • He tends to win over whoever holds him. Be careful this is a very dangerous skill he possesses!
  • From October 6th, he has made me realize how awesome it is to be a dad. Words can not explain what happens when your son is born!

Kristen:

  • Is so in love with Keegan.
  • Loves spending as much time possible with our son! She ran the quickest Wally World run today (1st errand without him)!
  • Is a STUD! Has not once complained about her lack of sleep or her motherly duties, she is a champ!
  • Did I mention she loves this little guy?!?!
  • Thinks Keegan is sooo handsome!
  • Is making her husband so proud of how awesome she is at being mom.

A lot of people have told us before this experience that sleep would be non-existent, but what we are both finding is that we never realized how much we are willing to sacrifice for Keegan. He is worth all the sleepless nights, dirty diapers and the complete change of life. We are so thankful to be Keegan's parents, and our lives have been so richly blessed in these short 2 weeks we have gotten to spend with our son! I can't imagine how life was without him before and wouldn't trade it in for anything in the world!
