When Tillman and Caroline Met....


Who is that?
 We were not discharged from the hospital until 5:15, so we had to hustle to get to the daycare before they closed at 6 to pick up Tillman.  Nick really wanted for Tillman to meet Caroline at home, but it just didn't work out.  They met in the car.  When Tillman was getting into his seat, he looked over, and you could tell he was thinking "what/who is that!"  He was straining his neck to catch a look at her while we were riding home.  He was extremely curious.


"Tillman where is baby Caroline?"


When we got home, we officially introduce Caroline and Tillman. Yes, in the garage!  During the introductions, it began to rain.  We got inside just before it poured. Nick had to get the car unloaded in the downpour while life as normal continued inside.  Tillman had to be feed, changed, cleaned up, and be put to bed before 7.  It is funny how life continues, yet life has changed so much.  It was two world colliding.   I remember thinking-"ok....so, who do I help first, what do I do first, how can I do this with two..."

 
 Of course we are managing it, although, I do feel Nick and I are out-numbered.  We are used to caring for one, and with two, it seems like Nick is pulled in one way and me in another.  I am sure we'll be able to pull it back together soon.  As the Darius Rucker song says "It won’t be like this for long, One day we'll look back laughin’, At the week we brought her home, This phase is gonna fly by, So baby just hold on, ‘Cause it won't be like this for long....It won’t be like this for long, One day, soon that little girl is gonna be, All grown up and gone, Yeah, this phase is gonna fly by, So, he's tryin’ to hold on, It won’t be like this for long." Hearing this song, makes me really want to enjoy this phase, appreciate what we have, and not wish it away. After all, life is good and these two little ones are a blessing to us!
