The past 12 days have been a roller coaster to say the least. On the one hand, my heart feels like it's about to burst with love and happiness. Ingrid is the sweetest thing, and I can't describe what it feels like to hold her and look into her bright, curious eyes. On the other hand, the combination of sleepless nights, hormones, a sore body, and the steep learning curve of becoming a parent have been really tough.
It's funny how entirely mine and Kirk's lives have changed. For instance, we've never been happier to see poop than when Ingrid had been constipated and miserable for over 24 hours... we've never been more distraught and then relieved over a number on a scale than when we thought Ingrid had lost a scary amount of weight and might possibly have a heart condition, only to learn 2 hours later that the stupid scale was just broken... We've also never been so in love with a tiny human. And we both know that from now on, Thanksgiving will always remind us of our little girl, and how grateful we are to have her in our lives.
