Away We Go

This may be one of the shortest blog entries that I’ve written. At the same time, I don’t know that there has been an entry that has taken me more time to write. There is truly a lack of words for what it is that I am trying to say.

I was excited for Ryne to enter this world from the moment that I heard that he was coming, and I knew that I would love Ryne once he entered this world. However, I had no idea what to expect that excitement and love to feel like. That excitement, and that love are both unbelievable feelings. And that excitement and love have continued to grow each of the first four days that he has been alive.

Yesterday we brought him home, and that was a little bit scary. It was a little bit scary for Ryne; as I gave him the tour of our condominium and showed him his new dwelling

his eyes were wide with wonder. I can’t speak for Amy, but I know that it was a little bit scary for me as Ryne is really the only newborn that I’ve ever been around for an extended period of time. All of a sudden, this tiny little person was solely our responsibility. That is a heavy burden to carry for someone that you love so much. And while it is scary, I must say I think we’ll do great (furthermore, it is very comforting to know that I have a pediatric nurse, who I believe my son resembles, on speed dial that I am able to call at any hour – day or night…) when it comes to raising Ryne successfully!

Now we embark upon our unpredictable journey, and away we go…
