Sleep

Mother and daughter sleeping together. I was told that you need to get your sleep when you can and I think that is what Em is doing. I feel bad cause she stays up with Jada cause she feeds her in the middle of the night, and I feel like ok what can I do, and really there is nothing cause I don't have what Em has hahaha. Anyways I love my little one, I like the way her head smells. But yes we do need sleep and plenty of it.

Growing Love

I never really thought I could someone so much in such a short period of time. Don't get me wrong I love my wife and I fell in with her pretty quickly. Jada has only been with us six days, and I love her so much. I just stare at her for long periods of time, and never get bored. She has smiled a few times, and that was so beautiful to see, it just makes me want to wait to see it again. I know that over time, my love will only grow for my litte girl. I don't even want to think about the future and her growing up, I just want to spend every moment I can with her and enjoy those moments. I believe that I'm beinging to see a different side of my heavenly father, and seeing how he loves us just because, the same way I love my little Jada. I don't know if I could have ever really understood that until Jada came.

Thank you so much God, for my little gift. I just pray that you would help me have the wisdom that I need to raise this beautiful little girl. And Lord, she is yours, whatever you want her to do I pray that she does it. Let your will be done in her life, and give Emily and I the strength to allow that to happen. Love you Jesus, and again thank you for this awesome gift.

New Father

Being a dad, wow what an amazing thing. My little girl was born only a few days ago, and it's amazing how much I want her to be the best. I just can't get my eyes off of this little one. She's so perfect in so many ways. Now don't get me wrong I know she's not, but I can dream for a little bit right. It's amazing I can see God thru her. How he formed her, and how he made everything that she needs, like how she was born ready to nurse pretty much, already having the sucking reflex going on. God is so wonderful, how he gives us things that we may not deserve, but he willingly says here you go son, or daughter, heres a gift just because. Now that blows me away. To tell the truth I am a little scared because now I have this responsibility of raising a little, maybe I didn't have the best example growing up of a father but now I can look to the Father of heaven and follow his example. I love my little girl and I just pray daily for the wisdom and strength that I'll need raising her. I'm a new father and that is AWESOME!!
