Earlier this week, Andrew turned one month old. I have a lot of mixed emotions. On one hand I feel an overwhelming sense of pride. We made it (all 3 of us)! We survived sleep deprivation, open air accidents, the icky umbilical cord stump, and our first out of state trip to Michigan. Andrew is quickly gaining weight (10lb. 3oz. yesterday) and growing an inch each time we go to the doctor. This all affirms that the endless feedings are paying off!
The above was written by Rachel, who has gotten sidetracked by...well....sleep. The opportunities are fewer these days so there is less time for blogging.
To continue her sentiment, she was sharing with me the other day about how an endless sea of responsibility still lies ahead. Learning to change a diaper is one thing, but teaching him about life, about love, about God is entirely another job - a far more important job, and likely a far more difficult one than we have faced in our little newborn thus far.
Tomorrow (Sunday) will be the baby dedication ceremony at our church. It will only be a few minutes - a commitment on our part to raise our child as best we can to know God, and a prayer of blessing on our family.
