We've been slow on the blog lately. But it's not for lack of happenings. The biggest happening has been the birth of our daughter Eve. She was born two weeks late on January 28th. 8lbs 12 oz - 21.5 inches long. Sparing the details - we thought she would never come and then labor and delivery went fast. Very fast.One of the things I've heard parents say over and over again is how fast kids grow up. Until this point I shrugged the comment off and considered it a bit cliche. But it's absolutely true. The ways in which Eve has grown and changed over the course of days and weeks is staggering. Each moment is a thousand wonders as she figures out everything from what a laugh looks and feels like to the fact that her hand is connected to her body and she herself can prevent it from hitting her face.
We are fearfully and wonderfully made.
We've grown in these past weeks as well. A reordering of life is in process. New ways of dividing responsibility, new rhythms of life, new patterns of wake and sleep, new noises, smells, and a new pace of life oriented around someone else's basic needs. We continue to become parents and will never finish this amazing responsibility. And in it all we are overjoyed.
