A Family Of Three

I now realize what people mean when they say having a baby changes your life forever. It has just recently hit me that we are now a family of three, and with a newborn in our hands, the worries and restraints have multiplied exponentially. No longer are we able to take trips to places like Argentina and go trekking on the glaciers (good thing we've been there and done that already). Instead, our days are now filled with dirty diapers and waking up all hours of the night for feedings. This new lifestyle called parenthood is definitely an adjustment, which is nothing we could have prepared for. But despite all the gripes I can make, being a mother is not something I would give up or change for the world.

Baby K is three weeks old today. Life has been a blur to me since I've been home from the hospital. I follow the same routine each day, the majority of it spent in front of the television while tending to baby K. Sadly enough, I can tell you the TV line-up I follow each day from morning to evening. While the media provides some form of mild entertainment, one can only stand so much of Rachael Ray, Drew Carey in The Price is Right, Judge Judy, and the Game Show Network. Maybe one of these days I'll finally muster up the energy to start working on that baby book I got as a gift... not to mention the scrapbook I've been meaning to finish up during the pregnancy. Of course, I'm being idealistic here since it all depends on baby K's cooperation, and one thing I've learned as a new mother - babies tend to do what they want, not what you want. Here's a more recent picture of our little cutie pie:
