Blaecks + 1 : Parenthood Day 3

9 months of gestation complete with the weight gain, morning sickness, backache and swollen feet, a 3.26kg baby boy came out of me on 19 October 2012 at 8.19pm after 8.5hrs of labour (complete with 10 fingers, 10 toes, 2 eyes, 1 nose, 2 ears and 1 mouth - as counted by the nurse).

Its day 3 of parenthood for the Blaecks and we have completely no idea what to do nor what to expect. One Army Major and One Marketing Manager surrender to this not yet educated, unable to speak nor fend for himself little Baby Adam. We wonder what every little whimper is about, what is going through his mind what most importantly, what's coming up next.

Regrettably, I haven't had that magical moment where I look at Adam and the maternal instinct in my switches on. Of course that isn't to say I don't love my son. I do...a lot and I am amazed that he is a product of the love the Blaecks share. But maybe the pragmatic side of me wonders really, what's gonna happen now?

Through the whole 3 days experience, I am however, extremely amazed by Blacks. I think his paternal instincts switched on the moment Adam came out. He's so gentle, so patient and you can tell he will literally shield his son from the perils of the world. (He even laughed as he got the peed-on initiation this evening!). If anything at all, the last 3 days has solidified by love for my husband and "renewed" our wedding vows.
