Even though Roxanne was born on Wednesday the 19th, today marks the end of our first week at home, as we were at the hospital for two days after she was born. I can't believe it's already been a week! We've had lots of visitors, and lots of time to bond with Roxanne. She really is just the best baby. I'm sure all parents think that, but I really mean it. Seriously.
It's very hard to think of myself as a parent. My husband and I are pretty young to be parents, since I'm 24 and he's 26, and sometimes I still feel like an awkward high-schooler. But it really amazes me at how naturally everything changes. While I do have trouble imagining myself driving around town in a minivan or issuing threats to a misbehaving toddler, I have been able to adjust to being a complete and total slave to this little baby. I sometimes get completely overtaken with how much I love her, and how much I want her to have everything she needs. It's really a unique experience. My husband and I sit around and talk about how we never saw it coming. You think you have some idea about what it will be like, but it's not even close. We're like honeymooners. Or at least over the moon.
