One month of E. The first month has been hard on all of us. E had to be in the hospital for three weeks. He was born on the 9th of January. And only got home to us on the 31st.
We didn’t get to experience much with him during those three weeks except for visits. We visited him every day. We try to talk with him as much as we can during those visits. And every day, I could see how aware of his surroundings he has gotten.
And now he’s back with us. I still can’t believe I have been a parent for a month now. Life is definitely different now. We are trying to get into our new roles now. There’s so much to get used to.
It is definitely hard but I am enjoying moments when we make eye contacts and when he listens to us talking with him. His eyes are wide open now, looking around, taking everything in. And when he is falling asleep, he makes that smile that will always make me smile :)
