What an exciting and exhausting few days it has been since we've brought baby home! Luis and I cannot believe that he is actually here with us now. So many months anticipating his arrival and now we have this beautiful baby boy who brightens each of our days. It has been difficult with all of the erratic sleep hours, late night feedings and pumping in between- but SO worth it! Luis has been a tremendous support. He is such a tender and patient father to baby Luis; this comes naturally to him. What I've appreciated the most about him these past few days is his sense of humor; we will be up at 3:00 AM, exhausted to the max and find something to laugh about. Whether it is a funny sound or look the baby is making, or the craziness that comes with caring for a newborn, Luis is there to make light of the situation. Fortunately, he is the "calm one" and is so helpful in not allowing me to become anxious when the baby is having a crying spell after we have already fed, swaddled and changed his diaper once, and then twice. I love my husband.
Today we took baby Luis to get circumcised. I have been dreading this for days. Once I signed the informed consent, I started to cry. Though I am well aware that this is a pretty quick and usually uneventful procedure, I hated the idea of my sweet boy being in pain. I decided not to go into the procedure room; Luis went with the baby. When they returned, he was pretty fussy and it took us awhile to get him calmed down. However from the car ride home and on he has been fine! The whole ordeal likely was much more traumatic for me than baby Luis. I am giving him Tylenol elixir every 4 hours.

All that matters now is our sweet baby boy. He's here. He's home. He's ours. We are a family of 3 now. Life is good. I am blessed!
