A Small Warning
While Simon and I are doing this to keep our friends/family/acquaintences in the know and so that we can remember the experience - we know that a great many people forget the insane emotions that go through them at a time like this. They remember joy, nervousness and excitement but tend to forget things like annoyance, anger and exhaustion. This is also a little bit of an experiment for us as well as (hopefully) a bit of reality for someone else out there who wants a bit of a real play-by-play of the emotional rollercoaster of childbirth and parenting. ...granted, I know that my experience is only one...but hey...still worth trying.
That said, not all of this blog is going to be happy and shiny. There will be some real, raw emotions here and we're going to express them pretty openly. We hope that this doesn't make anyone feel as if we're in any way unhappy about the birth of our son or that we're somehow not excited or don't love him. For us, this is the reality of things that people don't really talk about or express. I think that is extremely important to remember.
We may use foul language. ...you're warned.
LMAO... Simon....I'm in lust with your intellect and reason... Someday when I get to come visit, I'm going to sneak in while your sleeping and scrape some of your brains into a jar and take them home with me and grow my very own Simon brain and it will live in a jar in my secret lab and talk to me when ever I want.... and even when I don't want it to.

ReplyDelete(Sandra) Kind of makes you wonder how dirty the second post was to be removed by her. >.> Tee hee.
ReplyDeleteI know someone who did exactly that to log the coordinates of conception on their boat's chart plotter. Casually explained to me as we sat on the big bench on the back of the boat. Ewww, not a pleasant visual. Lucky the bench is upholstered in vinyl.
