Well....the super-efficiency of my life has been slightly, ok MAJORLY interrupted! No longer can I get things done quickly or zip around and do 50 things at once. Those days are over! I have slowly come to terms with this realization in the last three weeks and am now working on adjusting to this extreme change.
What a sweet, tiny blessing little June is! She came pre-programmed with many demands that she seems to understand quite thoroughly, but cannot seem to communicate with us, except by crying. Its been a challenge, but a wonderful experience all at the same time. I really don't know how to describe it, except we were not prepared AT ALL! Dan has been wonderful with everything and has to be the most helpful daddy ever! He is a diaper-changing genius and so good at swaddling! I have slowly been recovering and getting my strength back, but am working on encompassing more duties in the next few weeks.
We could never have imagined that she would bring such frustration and joy all at the same moments and we relish in her tiny features and loud voice and just count ourselves lucky to be given the gift of raising her as one of the Lord's children. All in all, we are adjusting to a new life that the Lord has prepared for us and learning to live as a little family of 6 now!
Suz, she is just so precious, and who could resist that hair, the best! As for adjusting and being prepared, you WILL adjust and it WILL get better and easier and the preparation, you hit it right on, it is never enough, or exactly what you thought it would be, but such a blessing just the same. You are doing fabulously!
