Just a very short post to announce that our son is finally here!
He was born about 2 weeks ago, after a long and tumultuous labor, on a Saturday morning. We spent a week in the hospital while he was treated for a pesky, persistent case of jaundice (although, I joke that the dude is half Asian and a quarter Greek, so he's always going to have a little tinge of yellow and olive, eh? *smilewink*)
I'm so in love as I wander through his face and every little sound and moment...as I try to find my way through this new life, this new beginning...as my husband and I enter into this profound adventure...
For now, I am content and mystified to be lost in his world...
While I allow myself to be lost from the outside world, I am being found in a world that was once lost to me yet is now being slowly yet beautifully rediscovered, as though for the first time...
And really to lose oneself is to find oneself...
Or it could just be the misty nebula of oblivion and confusion brought about by severe sleep deprivation and constant feedings...Ha.
