These first 4 months of parenthood have been so wild.
It's such a paradox.
• Feeling like days pass in a blink.. while moments like this one stretch a few seconds into infinity.
• Structure and daily routines are more critical than ever...yet each day they get a hard reset and we start from scratch.
• Having him in my arms is as transcendental as cradling god/an angel/a visiting alien...yet when he screams it feels like an ambulance driving down my central nervous system.
• WTF? Who tore out my definition of control and replaced it with the one for surrender?
• Experiencing more anxiety and fatigue in 4 months than I have in 10 years..while having laughed, cried and smiled more than my entire life.
• Accelerated maturity and aging...paired with a plunge into the fountain of youth and a liberating return to innocence.
And it's just getting started.
