I am thrilled to hear the news!! Life has a funny way to show you the way. Just follow your instinct; you will succeed at anything you do Sean ~ Good luck!
Matt, once again thank you for sharing so much of you, your family and your experiences. You write about things must people would never admit to, and with you; we all learn and become aware "we're not all that different after all".
What you are experiencing is normal for a person like you. You're someone that does not like to inconvenience other people. You are polite, reserved, quiet, and does not like to call attention. Having a child that is crying during a dinner in a restaurant goes against all I mentioned above!....It is with time that you will see that a "crying child"...it's just LIFE. Most people will understand a fussy child, a child that is teething, or not feeling well.
You will also develop your strategies to "entertain" Sammy when he is not feeling up to it. You will not exactly what to do to calm him down. Friends will understand because you are a part of their lives and they have accepted Sammy too - otherwise there would be no "dinners out together" So, Enjoy your Daddy days...Enjoy Sammy in his early days....
In no time, he will be 1 year old and you will be facing other things parenthood will bring, and it too shall pass.
Trust me, you are feeling something a lot of us experienced as well. Continue focusing in being the best daddy! that's all Sammy needs.ooxx Jeannette
LOL...there is no other way to start this! - I can relate to your feelings here! I remember the first few nights my kids slept through the night...wohooo!!!! there is no better feeling! [yet] The great thing about you [different from us] is that you are documenting everything, what a treasure to have.
How I wish I had documented all their milestones, their patterns, etc....kudos to you and Annie!
Hugs! ooxx
Wow so many things to be thankful for!! We are also thankful to have you, Annie and Sammy in our lives. You made us a part of this incredible journey and made us feel such a big part of your life - and we thank you for that!
We thank you for sharing so much of yourselves with us ~ we thank you for sharing Sammy's journey & arrival ~ we thank you for BEING YOU!
Matt, Annie, I can't tell you how awesome it is to follow not only all the milestones that Annie/LittleBrowne had, but to be able to follow now all the milestones Sammy is reaching!
8.1oz ~Wohoo!! way to go Sammy! - Like you, we had out son circumcised on his second day (before we left the hospital) He will heal in no time!....and you will too. I say this because I remember how I used to cry right along with him when he received his baby shots, I couldn't even look! ... Is one of those things you know you should do, yet it breaks your heart to see them go through anything that could be uncomfortable for them:( Once again, thank you for taking us along in this journey! ooxx ~J
@MatthewLiberty this is a beautiful post! Thank you for making us a part of this important journey in your life. Thank you for sharing yourself with us and for making us feel part of your amazing family! Our thoughts and prayers will be with you and Annie tomorrow - We are thrilled for you! {{ Hugs }}
Annie, you're going to be an awesome mommy! I can see it already:)) How lucky is LittleBrowne to have you and Matt as parents.Don't feel bad about not making the right decision at the right time...or for the right reasons. As parents we don't have instructions for everything we do. We just do the best we can and the best we know how, and most of the time we learn from this. Making this kind of decisions is very hard! it's ALL unknown to us, but you will notice as time goes by how you will acquire this "mommy wisdom" and you will be making the right decisions for your baby, and for Matt and you. Follow your instincts. ~ welcome to motherhood!
Paul I am thrilled to hear all the good things coming your way! There is no greater joy (for me) than to see friends be happy and with great appreciation for life! ~Enjoy!
Wow Paul, thank you for sharing these intimate stages of your life with us. It takes a strong character to do so. Even though I haven't known you for a long time; it is evident how much you have grown and mature during your journey....and that is all we can expect to do. We all experience "high's and low's" in our lives but it's what we take away and what we do with that, that counts! I am confident you are heading towards "good places" in your life, and we are here beside you to cheer you on! Honored to have you in my stream daily! #YouMatter
@MatthewLiberty LOL you're also getting the 'daddy look'
You are glowing Annie and Mattman has gotten taller!
Margie what an honor to be included in your list. Such compliment coming from you. I hope you know you such an inspiration to ALL of us - nothing but endless admiration for you.
Wow what a cool idea! I got the tag in twitter but did not understand the logistics of this until now that I come to the actual post. Sorry I missed the fun! Will you be holding a segment like this again? << and I guess that becomes my question:))
Great post Michele, I think for the serious social media users, sometimes it can feel like a chore rather than what is intended to be: "social vehicle" - and sometime we lose the joy! so it is great to be reminded to focus on our own priorities (those priorities might be different for all of us).
How did I miss this! great stuff Paul, I will be sharing this in my other outlets right now.
Margie, I totally understand the need to shift things and focus in your professional profile more than your personal presence. It's a constant struggle for me as well. I feel fortunate to know that while you might not be here, many of us will be connected with you in many other platforms. I love your insight, your wisdom, your sensible and always awesome judgement! -- Happy to see on the flip side!
Love the letter Aunt Heather! How lucky is Little Browne to have family like yours! The love is so evident. I know Little Browne will be surrounded by love, laughter, tenderness and lullabies !!! and that is all we could ever wish for a child!
You look great @AnnieBrowne !! I'm so glad "we-your friends" have a place where we can follow day by day all the new milestones in your pregnancy. Thank you for sharing with us in your most intimate stages in your life. We feel close to you (and honored) and look forward to the arrival of Baby Boy Lil Browne ♥
@MatthewLiberty I can totally understand your post here. As a female & mother we experience (just about) "everything" the movements, their little body taking over ours, we seem to feel we are cradling him in our arms not in our belly. Our hormones are changing and helping us "feel" the motherhood process. But you guys don't have any of that going on! So how and when does this process takes place for you daddy's? That is so hard to say. As it will be different for everyone. I've been married twice and had my second child (first child for him) when he was 36. To us, the connection and bonding became instant when the baby was born! (not before) I remember the first night, they held the baby in the hospital's baby nursery (so that I could sleep) which was across the hall from my room. About 2am we heard a baby cry and my husband woke up from the couch and said: "I know that is our baby" and he went to check on the babies. He came back about 2 hours later. He was right...it was our baby and he had held him and sang him to sleep with the song "Beverly Hill Billies" - He didn't know any lullabies ....That was the beginning of this incredible bonding that exist today. All you can do is "Love them" that is the only secret...it will happen without even trying! and Baby Browne will be and like "all that you are" ....they pay attention, they learn from you, they adore you! - Just inspire him and he will love you back!
