Almost Five weeks already!

The last few weeks have been all about getting used to our new life as parents. We have gone through some pretty major changes over the past month. Even the most eloquent words spun together fail to describe what it feels like to hold your tiny daughter close to you. To watch her smile back at you for the first time, to chuckle while she screams during her bath. There is nothing like it! I have also discovered the anomaly in the time/space continuum that so many people talk about when they have kids. Time strangely shifts into fast forward the moment they are born. Already almost five weeks old? How can that be? I half way expect some pimple faced boy to show up at my door tomorrow night asking if he can date my teenage daughter. I am working on finding a good shot-gun.
