Well today, Abigail passed that grand milestone; one week! It has been an altogether interesting week. The sudden change of sleeping patterns. The midnight feeds. The 3am feeds. The 5am feeds. The 7:30am feeds. The lunchtime fee......... But really, we have been truly blessed with a wonderful child, and we are grateful to the Lord for his goodness and kindness to us.
It's amazing how quickly things change. At the beginning of last week we were wondering if this child would ever arrive; what would we have? Would we get on? How would we ever adjust to being parents? Now, it's hard to think of Abigail never having been with us! And to find yourself completely, overwhelmingly and inexplicably driven to protect and care for a tiny, helpless child who just 8 days ago was still unknown to you..... it truly is amazing! Deborah and I love our daughter more than words can describe.
Of course, it hasn't all been sweetness and light. Last night was a bit tough. Abigail simply wouldn't settle down, no matter what we did, and struggling with tiredness as we are, neither of had a particularly easy time of it. I'm still struggling a bit with the intricacies of changing those tiny little nappies whilst she squirms and kicks and generally makes a nuisance of herself. And poor Deborah has to be ready to feed her every 2-4 hours!
We made our first trip out with her yesterday; to Mothercare of all places. It was quick drive from Stirling to Falkirk, followed by a jaunt in the buggy and a drive home. So she is now a veteran car passenger!
Ok folks, that's all for now. My apologies for the rambling nature of this post; the thought processes of the sleep-deprived! More soon. God Bless you all.
