All I keep hearing in my head is the chorus of R.E.M's "It's the end of the world as we know it, (and I feel fine)." In the beginning of May, my beautiful son was born. A few take aways from the experience and after math include we as humans do not know nearly enough about pregnancy or babies. Doctors repeatedly told my wife and I that there is no "normal" for pregnancy, or labor. After a tiring rollercoaster, our little man is here and we can already see him developing and changing.
Upon coming home, my dad commented to me that we need to treat him as an alien from another world. Similar advice was given from the nurses, who told us that he still needs to learn how to be a baby and figure things out. This blog aims to speak to new parents, but through a twist, through a "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" perspective. We'll explore his 'travel diaries' with commentary of life in this new strange place called "outside the womb", with a look at how strange some things must seem to a newborn.
