Greg and I just held each other after the boys were in bed tonight, on the verge of tears. 😳😳
This whole parenting thing is the hardest yet most rewarding endeavor of our lives. We realized it with Will as a newborn, and we're sure as heck experiencing deja vu on a whole new level this time around with Daniel. 😩👶🏻👶🏻
If you're a new parent and haven't read The Wonder Years book or downloaded the app, do so. It offers a week by week, day by day analysis of why your child is acting the way he or she is based on what developmental leap he is currently undergoing or approaching. Particularly fussy days often precede major developmental leaps, causing you to feel like you have a new kid a few days later. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Dan is experiencing his first real leap currently, and it's terrifying him. He basically cluster fed (out of both necessity and comfort) every 1-2 hours today and cried every hour last night (rarely waking himself up during each crying spell, which I find incredible!). Needless to say, it was a long day today. I looked in the mirror and realized just how exhausted I look -- and am. 😩😩
But this TOO shall pass.
Apparently, Dan will be like a new baby in a day or two. We can do this...🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Let's end on a cute, positive note here. Will now calls Dan "Danny," tried to give him a high five, and even offered him his pacifier when he was crying this morning. #adorable 😍😍😍
The older brother cuteness overload continues, and those small, precious, fleeting moments make it ALL worth it. 🍼💪🏾🌟🍷😍💗💞
