Not So Bad After All

Well, I haven't posted since June, but I just went back and looked over my posts. I guess I don't feel too embarrassed about anything I have put into words here, some of them even seem to make more sense the more time I put between myself and them.

So much has happened since I wrote last. The biggest thing has been the birth of my son, Liam. It's strange to write his name still. It's strange to say his name. The way it makes me feel is something I guess I haven't felt since I first fell in love with my wife. He is amazing, and if you haven't gotten to meet him yet, I hope you do soon.

Liam has only been here three weeks and he's already had two surgical procedures, with more to come more than likely. He was born with the same condition I had at birth. We are more alike than I wish we were in that way. Once again I have to thank my family for being such a wonderful, supportive, loving, bunch. My parents have been staying here in Iowa, despite the weather turning cooler, to help us make sure we get everything done for Liam we possibly can. So far, things are looking very similar to what I went though, but my parents have the experience of having gone through it before, so they know what questions to ask.

I'm going to wrap up for now by saying that it's 1:11 am as I write this. I have been up making sure Liam is comfortable. It is amazing how little sleep you get when you have a new baby. I better post this before I fall asleep at the keyboard.
