Over the past couple of weeks we’ve seen two sets of our closest friends have their first children. And in that time frame Laus and I have been lucky enough to visit them not long after their big moment.
So we’ve been able to see some pretty Fresh Baby. Not your run of the mill, week-old newborn: I’m talkin’ hours old Fresh. And when there’s Fresh Baby, there’s also Exhausted Parent. And these Exhausted Parents were still stressed, frazzled, and getting ready for many sleepless nights to come. (No offense guys, but you all looked like you got hit by a bus. Or two.) 🙂
Yet I don’t think I’ve ever seen them so utterly happy, proud and smiling so wide. Despite all the waiting, all the stress, and the complete lack of sleep, they’re beaming brighter than the sun.
So I guess we’ve got that to look forward to.
UPDATE:
ps. Please vote in the poll on the right before Laus makes me get rid of the ridiculous choices!
