We all knew it was coming sooner or later! Monday July 20th at 1517, a human being emerged from my wife. Pretty cool.
You know, I spent most of the pregnancy in shock that there was a little thing growing inside Siri that was half made up of me and half of her. It really tripped me out thinking about it. And I thought that feeling would carry over through parenting, but while the feeling may return one day, it really hasnt felt like that since Lucy was born. It struck me very abruptly when she was born that here, right in front of me, all of a sudden, was this entirely different person. Someone completely other than me. She didnt just seem like half of me and half of Siri, but someone else entirely. And she is! She will grow up and be her own person, we were just the ones blessed to be her parents!
The adventure continues!
Aw, cute picture! Welcome to parenthood, the most amazing adventure of your life!
