Everyone has braced me for "the worst." That I'm never going to sleep again, that my life is no longer my own, that I have officially become an "adult" now. Nevermind the fact that we are sleeping well, etc - I have never felt better in my life. God really blessed us with a beautiful and healthy baby - everything beyond that is really superfluous. We often overlook the simple things in life like family and friends for the "sexy" things . like money, status, jobs, etc. I'll honestly say that while that stuff still matters and is important, I never thought they would matter so little. Life is a miracle, and after Shaina and I brought another life into this world, everything else is just....stuff. After having two weeks to think about this, there are really so few things in life worth complaining about if you're alive, healthy and have people who love you. That's all that matters.
