First Weekend

posted in Uncategorized |

Future parents, let it be known: people will tell you that having a baby is exhausting; that you’ll never be so tired in your life, but in the end, it’s worth it. You will think you understand what they mean. You will have absolutely no idea.

Fortunately, Shannon’s parents are here for the next few days, which helps take some of the pressure off. Poppy Loughlin took pity on me at 7 this morning and sent me to bed, taking over some of my chores, and I managed to get six uninterrupted hours of sleep, something I haven’t done since last Saturday night. Shannon still has to feed Connor every few hours, so no such luck for her. I really don’t know how she does it.

Uncle Mike and Aunt Michelle came by Saturday night to visit, which was very nice. As you can tell, Mike really wasn’t sure what to do with him, which was very cute. As per usual, click the photo (or go here) to see more pictures.
Fortunately, parenthood is still pretty awesome. So it is so worth it. He is awesome. But holy cow is it tiring.

    Just wait until the first time he sleeps through the night (and when I say night, I mean 6 consecutive hours). You will feel like you could run a marathon.

    In my defense, within three seconds of holding him he decided to greet me with spit-up. As an awesome uncle I’m only used to the cuteness. The less cuteness caught me off guard. Next time I’ll be prepared

    Hi Chris & Shannon, and welcome Connor!!! He’s a keeper!!!

    Someday you will sleep again….

    Advice – take care of yourselves, mom & dad. Accept any offers to do your laundry, clean your house, bring you food. Happily excuse yourselves from company when there is even the slightest chance to catch a nap!

    Looking forward to seeing you at Mike’s wedding!
