We get to keep him !?

Alex came home today. After two days in the hospital, Alex being pampered by the nurses and Shaun and I staring at him almost every waking moment, we are all in for a rude awakening. People tell us the "honeymoon" is over when you take your sleeping peaceful babe home. They wake up after their traumatic trip into the world and begin to demand some attention. Okay, not some, all attention. As we have since learned...those people were right. Shaun and I are AMAZED at how a small, innocent little 8 pound boy requires the 24 hour non stop attention of two grown adults.

Isn't it amazing how babies are made to be so irrisistably cute that you would go to the moon for them, even after 2 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period at 3:30 in the morning while cries echo in every cell of your body? Good design on these miniture models, "make 'em cute"...Somebody was thinkin' about species survival when the idea of how to keep us humans around was pondered.
