Parenthood scared the beejesus out of John and I while Berklee was still in the oven. We were nervous wrecks that we'd break her or make a wrong choice with her. We've discovered that as long as we go to God for guidance, we can't ever make the wrong decision. I never really knew what to expect with a baby considering it's our first so it really was a shock the day we brought Berklee home. It was sort of like "Okay, now what do we do?" But, with Berklee, she showed us what to do! When she was crying, she wanted fed. When she was sleeping, she want to just sleep. And when she made the scrunched up face, she was doing her business and needed changed within 5 minutes. John and I learned quick :) We soon discovered Berklee had many faces and she made lots of them while she slept. Needless to say, John and I took up a new hobby of watching Berklee sleep.
John and I talk alot at these times of watching her sleep and wonder, "What on Earth did we ever do to be so blessed?" It amazes us that God could give us something like Berklee. We consider ourselves so lucky to be her parents and have her in our lives. I knew parenting would change us, but I never expected it to change us so much. The first few days home, I found myself being brought to tears just looking at Berklee thanking God for everything He gave me. A perfect pregnancy, perfect labor and delivery, and a perfect baby girl. I finally realized what life was really all about with a look at my baby girl. Everything is brought into prospective with her. We don't really think of ourselves anymore, just about what would be best with Berklee. It's amazing all the things I've given up to do things for her or with her. Life is complete now and John and I wonder how we ever managed life without Berklee <3
