TEAMWORK - you need it to have a productive relationship with co-workers, you need it when you play sports, and as I have learned these past three weeks, you NEED it to successfully care for a child. Note I said "care"...I have no earthly idea how to "raise" this sweet baby yet - I will just be happy right now to know she is well fed, clean, and comfortable. Who would have thought that giving a child these simple things would have been so difficult?!? So caring for our child these past three weeks has tested our parenting instincts and stamina, but it has also tested John and I's ability to work together while still loving and respecting each other. My heart twinges as I admit this, but there have been nights where just the sight of my husband has made me tense and frustrated. Sorry babe! Thankfully, the good outweighs the bad, and we really are enjoying FC immensly. I'm just glad that I picked John to embark on this journey - I don't think anyone else could have handled me and all this pressure! Today I was following up on some blogs I read and came across this tid-bit of advice - it's great advice for any relationship important to you. It is definitely something I will try to do more of...starting now.
