Postpartum
// August 5th, 2010 // Thoughts
August 5th already? It’s been 5 months since I last posted. I’ll take a moment and say that fatherhood is fantastic, a blessing. My son is three months old now and has started smiling, cooing at mom & dad. I get my first two days at home with him this coming Monday and Tuesday, all day alone. I’m not worried… really… I think.
Day care. Really? $800 a month? I harp about how inflation affects daily life, gas prices especially, but this is downright painful. My rent for my 3 bedroom house isn’t even $800 a month. Granted, many people’s rent IS but still, perspective!
Still, it is an accredited organization we’ll be giving my son to for 40+ hours a week. I can be thankful for that at least. The people are friendly and I understand that they take good care of the children.
I wonder if I’ll miss things. His first word, his first step, his first front snap kick? Guess I can’t concern myself with those things.
