four weeks have passed since willem made his grand entrance into this family. we are working on maintaining a routine with the other boys and have somehow been able to juggle their needs as well as caring for a newborn. what i have noticed above all else is the mind's ability to forget so many challenges associated with pregnancy, delivery, recovery, and caring for a newborn. to those that have asked for my advice along the way, i am so sorry. i am confident now that much of my advice was oversimplified and probably not helpful. having kids is just really difficult. i love it, but it is difficult. so, that is where i am right now--trying to grab needed sleep whenever possible and stumbling through these first weeks with our willem.
