“Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet”—Rousseau

You would think that if you’ve been through something once, you would have learned from it. Well, as it turns out, that’s not always true, at least when it comes to Erin and I. In the lead up to Wyatt’s delivery, we were incredibly anxious—impatient, even—for him to finally get here. In fact, one day about four weeks ago, I was standing in my boss’s office and heard Tom Petty sing, “The waiting is the hardest part.” I thought about how true that was for me at that moment in time. To my credit, though, the better part of me slapped me upside the head and made me realize how much of an idiot I was for thinking such a thing. Waiting for him to be born was nothing compared to him actually being here and all that will be involved with being his Dad. That said, I am incredibly happy he is finally here and that he is healthy. And I think that is what I was most anxious about: Is he going to be okay, etc.? Now that he’s here, I am constantly amazed at how perfect he is. We got really lucky.

I am so thrilled for you all. Congrats on the new family member. Love the name..I can’t begin to imagine how you love and care for two kids at same time. I’ve only had to do it one at a time with the exceptions of stepdaughters and I think that is a little different. I know billions of people do it but when so much is invested in the first one it has got to be a challenge to adjust.
Hope you two are getting some rest and I am hoping you have pictures out here. Love to you all..
