6 months of daddiness. What a journey. I can honestly say, as simple as this sounds, the biggest adjustment to married with child (the "with child" part at least) is not being able to come home from work and simply take a nap for 30 minutes. Sound petty? For those of you that do not have children, try it for 1 month (let alone 6, and probably 12 more) and then tell me it sounds petty. Going to a movie or out to dinner after work in now a planned task - actually forget "after work", it is a planned task on a Saturday evening with absolutey NOTHING else to do that day. Sleeping in means 7AM - EVERY DAY. Jeremy thinks Sunday is the same as Monday is the same as Wednesday. No lying, sleeping until 7 every day would be heaven for us. Want to watch a Pistons game (in the FINALS of all things) uninterrupted? Go ahead, but feel guilty right around halftime when Jeremy is crying and Pam has to interrupt her schedule AGAIN (probably for the 15th time of the day) to feed him.
Is it worth it? Maybe. Probably. Can I say absolutely? Not yet. Hopefully soon. Everyone tells me it is at some point. I can say it is becoming much more rewarding. JC doesn't smile that often, but when we finally write a bit good enough for his sophisticated sense of humor (we do this by watching the latest in comedy trends - Leno, Letterman) it is heartwarming to see that no teeth smile. Would I ever trade this life for my former one? NEVER.
Hope you enjoy the blog. We will try to keep this up and you can enjoy the pain of new parenthood with us. For the "been there, done that" parents. Good job!
