{ mr. staples }

Our sweet little greer is two weeks old. She has brought such a sweet spirit into our home and I can't imagine life without her. I love her SO much. But the last two weeks have been harder than I want to admit. I really don't remember it being this hard with Rowan. I remember being in pain, I remember sobbing a couple of nights when she wouldn't go to sleep, I remember telling my sister that it was HARD. But for some reason, this has been harder. I haven't gotten more than one or two hours of sleep at night since we brought Greer home. And when you are trying to recover, take care of yourself, take care of your two-year old who is having such a hard time adjusting to this new life of hers, and take care of this precious new baby PLUS not sleeping.. everything is much worse. I've had break downs that have even scared me. Well, what's the point of this? ....... Jord.

This guy has stepped up to the plate more than I ever thought possible. He's let me cry. He's listened. He's been the best dad to Rowan. He's called into work when we've had a rough night. He's cleaned the house. He's made dinner. He's done the grocery shopping. He's taken Rowan on outings. He's taken the screaming baby out of my hands so that I can breathe for a minute. Literally, He's done everything for me. I never want to forget this, because I truly don't know how I would have survived the last two weeks without him. 

I love him more than words can say. Literally, more than words can say.
