one month and change
kyden was born a month and a couple of days ago. he came into the world at 7#8oz. in this time he has soared to a whopping 10#10oz. the kid can eat. so he’s growing up quick and has outgrown all of his newborn clothes already.
if i had to guess, we have probably gone through about 600 diapers this last month. it’s sort of insane how many of these things we are going through and it does not seem like the rate at which these diapers are being consumed will go down anytime soon.
it seems like it’s been a long time and he has grown from a fragile and frail little baby to a sturdy little tyke. everyone says that they have at one point dropped their baby, but so far there have been no accidents on this front. this is something that i’m particularly happy about because i’ve tripped on koda a few times while carrying kyden. there were times when i thought that kyden, koda, or myself would surely have had some kind of accident of some kind, but we have all been lucky so far.
they say that life completely changes after the birth of your child, and it’s true. though i do complain about being tired, christi bears the far greater burden. she is the one that is up all day nursing the hungry boy. how he manages to eat so much boggles my mind, but his diaper consumption is proof that he is eating and eating well.
i ordered a new hard drive the other day and it arrived. grand plans to install the hard drive into the desktop seem to have faded away, and instead are replaced with little moments of joy when the house is still and i can hear myself think. it seems that that hard drive may sit in its box for a little while longer.
it’s been a long journey so far, one that started with near-panic when he is screaming and not knowing what is wrong to still not knowing, but being too tired to panic. still, it is those moments when he smiles where it’s all worth it. poo and all.
