So, in the past year we’ve bought a house. And we had a baby! Aegwyn Grace Taylor– born January 19th at 9:46 am. She’s a real cutie. We still have a ton of boxes to unpack. But someone is taking up all of our time. She seems to like to party at 2 am while taking it easy throughout daylight hours. No real complaints, not yet any way. Just a new Daddy having to learn his way.
But on top of all this stressful stuff (and yes, happy, positive goodness can still be quite stressful) I’ve now got some horrible something in my system wreaking havoc on body. I feel like someone has punched me square in the nose. My throat is swollen and raw. My limbs ache like, well, I dunno… it’s real pain, not just the normal aches I usually get with a cold or flu. I’m absolutely miserable. Well beyond miserable. This morning.. I was ready to curl up into the tiniest ball possible (for me) and either hibernate ’til it was over or just declare right then and there that my life was over. It hurt that bad. I was a bigger baby than Aegwyn, but I’ve never felt that bad before. Worse pain? Maybe. Kidney stones aren’t fun. But at the low point this morning.. I can’t even describe it. Misery incarnate had taken up camp inside my body and was having a full on block party with all her friends.
But my baby is here, and I wuvs her. My life is drastically changed and she’ll soon figure out just how much she has me wrapped around her itty-bitty (but very long) fingers.
