I'm a dad again. As prepared and ready as I thought I was this time - I'm not.
And, I guess that's why it's so fun - it's like a rollercoaster ride - or maybe more like the Tower of Doom at an amusement park. On the Tower of Doom, you inch up, up, up very slowly until you're sitting at the very top of the tower - at that point the ride comes to stop and lets you sit there for a minute as you peer across the amusement park in anticipation of that life threatening drop.
During the pregnancy we inched closer and closer to that day - and it seemed so slow. Then that day finally came and Charlotte Melody arrived, healthy and without any major issues - we were peering across the amusement park... and now, a little over a week later, we're being dropped from the top of the Tower of Doom. We're going super fast, we're not sleeping, I'm scared to death and it's a blast all at the same time.
Welcome to the world Charlotte Melody.
