Once upon a time, I took pictures of things other than my baby. Really, I did.
I vaguely remember those days. You mean there was life before Sammy?
Jay getting laid off was the best thing - how else could we spend entire afternoons snuggled in bed, simply watching the baby sleep?
We've grown oblivious to the outside world. Time is completely lost on us. Jobs seem like such a foreign concept. Every so often I stop and think: my friends are getting ready for work right now. Or, my students are in class learning right now. Or, people are going about their usual days, unaware that our days are wrapped up in this tiny little human in our little house.
I also stop and look at him and think, Holy crap, we made him. My body made this little creature!
I also contemplate things like vacuuming and making the bed, but that all seems so trivial compared to holding a sleeping Sammy in my arms.
Wow, I just read about your whole journey and I have to say an amazing story, inspiring to parents everywhere. Best of luck to all three of you.

Sammy looks great! Happy 1 month old Friday! The baby acne doesn't stick around long. You're in my prayers,
