First, my apologies for not having posted since Friday. As you know, I am a new daddy of twins, so when things go down, they really go down! Since the birth of our amazing miracle babies, my wife and I have had an interesting time getting the twins on a schedule and restoring some semblance of order to our lives. We recently encountered a slight kink in our plans that would throw things off quite a bit.
Babies grow and get fat… it’s kinda what babies do best (besides look cute of course!) My wife has an old sports-related injury in her wrist which was diagnosed as Tendinitis a while back. Apparently, holding babies aggrivates the area quite a bit. Last week, we decided to take her to an orthpedic specialist who recommended that she get surgery. It’s actually not a very big deal physically, but it does put quite a bit of stress on our day-to-day operations at home. This means I’m taking on more feeds and sleeping a little less, but we’re making it work somehow!
This experience has been a humbling one. I’ve realized a lot about myself, my limits, my strengths and my areas of opportunity (that’s marketing fluff for “Flaws”!) At the crux of it all, however, one thing holds true: I have been blessed with a wife who is extremely supportive and patient. Even with her physical limitations, she has been able to pick up some of the slack in other areas, and for this I am extremely grateful! I’ve begun to realize how easy it is to take these things for granted in life. This is definitely a well-timed revelation so close to Valentine’s day. I will keep you in the loop on how well I follow through with this “Eureka” moment I am having.
Meanwhile, I’ve begun the process of rehosting the New Daddy Chronicles site. I’ve finally decided to buy my own domain and will keep you all posted on when I officially make that switch. I am working to make the transition as seemless as possible, so stay tuned to further updates. As is always the case around this time, time to feed babies!
