Neither Joe nor I had much experience with babies, especially newborns, before Lincoln. We had to learn how to properly put on a diaper, swaddle him, and read his hunger vs. tired cues. It’s amazing looking back at how we were this first day because now we know our son so well…but back then, he was just a stranger and we were definitely intimidated! We were both tired, running on adrenaline, and juggling excited visitors.
I’m so glad we filmed this video because it captures our emotions, as well as my euphoria after taking my first bite of sushi again! Praise the Lord! If you’re a parent, how was that first day when you were alone with your new human and THINGS BECAME REAL? Let me know if you can relate to our experience…even if it was just a blur!
