Over the past month I have been sharing about transitions in our life. The reality that we must understand is that change happens every single day in our lives. That change is situational, and affects in many ways. Transitions however is the inner process of how we deal with the change.
The one change that has happened recently in my life, that has definitely affected my daily life is the birth of our first son! The little man as I find myself calling him often is my third child. I have two daughters who are wonderful, smart, a great joy, and inspiring. With that said, adding a third child to our home has impacted it in a profound way!
The change begin to occur with the surprise that my wife was pregnant (read more here). Then on Friday, November 13th, my wife gave birth to our little one. The change definitely created a new situation in our house. We had not had diapers or formula for a couple of years, and now we have those items upstairs and downstairs, in the car, and in a bag to carry around.
The situation changed, but now we are in the midst of transition. We are trying to balance spending time taking care of our newborn, and spending time with our two older girls. Making sure that we keep all the baby items clean, and allowing our girls feel like they are participating in caring for him. For those of you with multiple kids, you will understand this change, for those of you who were like me before, I did not. Honestly, I thought I got it, but having the 2nd made me understand the difference in dealing with multiples over a single child. It did not prepare me for the age gap that our children are now. It is a blessing, but it definitely is requiring a transition.
This change and transition, I welcome as a major BLESSING!
