    Things are really good. Overwhelming, but good. This is my first week back at work and today is Super Conference Call Thursday so I have been sitting on a phone all day with about 60 other folks. Which means- I have had a ton of time to be here. Wee. 

    But being a Dad is the coolest thing ever. I was laying on the couch watching the football game Monday and the baby was sleeping against my chest. I couldn't help but think I don't want her to grow up! Lol.

    My wife is doing awesome- I am sure she will pop in here at some point. But I have been really proud of the way she has handled adjusting to a newborn. We are starting to figure out our routine. We are just really fortunate and thankful that we have a pretty easy baby. We think. She def is not a horror story we warned of! lol

    My wife has also been very awesome in letting me get some solid sleep at night so I will be good to go for work. Last couple nights I have been staying up past my curfew to 12-12:30 to hang out with them lol, but- we are figuring it out.

    I can't wait until the weekend when I don't have to come to work and be away from the kid! My family is really awesome and I love being there.

    I would say the most important thing I have tried to keep in mind is that attention and care still must be given to my wife and I's relationship. I truly think I missed her a little more than I missed the baby yesterday and I told her so. I think it is important to work on our relationship so that we can tackle being new parents together and be as happy as we can be. And I like to think that it will pour over into our relationship with Evelyn.

    I truly honestly can't complain. Things have really fallen in place for us with our new jobs in the last year, a healthy happy baby, our relationship being pretty awesome, etc. I know things can come crashing down fast so I am riding the high as long as I can.

    For me, the first week back at work was the worst. All I wanted to do was go home and stare at DS.
