First week home

The first week home with Jasper was a crazy combination of sleep deprivation, euphoria, hormones and visitors. Every time I glanced at Jasper I would be in awe of how this perfect little human being came out of my body and even more staggering- the face that we get to keep him! The mere thought of how much I loved him sent me into a whimper.

While my emotions have been raw I have been in awe of just how much my husband has it together. During his paternity leave he has really stepped up as husband of the year by changing diapers, helping with nighttime feedings, doing laundry etc. This man of my mine has easily slipped into the role of father and he can do it all without breaking a sweat or shedding a tear. At times like this I am grateful for the differences in not only our personalities, but our temperament. While I am emotional, he is logical, when I need sleep he is there to take the reigns. Parenthood is the perfect opportunity for us to roll up our sleeves and be the great team I always knew we were.
