We tried to wake the little guy up to eat a bit more. He said, "Are you serious dad? Can't you see I'm sleeping here?"
Thoughts from the hospital room...
Gail is recovering well and feeling good, but very tired. I can't imagine why. With the way things shook down yesterday, I ended up getting to hold him for nearly the entire first hour of his life. I talked to him, he looked at me... it was the most incredible experience of my life (and maybe I'm being presumptive here, but I think at the time, it was the most incredible moment of his life, too!).
He was either peacefully awake or peacefully sleeping for the whole day. I got to hold him as I walked around the room and I sang him Derek Webb, Dan Wilson, and U2 songs. It was absolutely wonderful. He woke up to have a snack around 1:15 a.m. We expected an eat-and-go-back-to-sleep moment... but he had other plans. He decided that he'd had enough of this sleeping and it was time to meet the world... so he stayed up until 6 a.m.! That's our son, the night owl.
Friday. 7:55 a.m. My wife and my son are lying together fast asleep. It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
It is Good Friday today,. As I tried to read the story in Luke's Gospel, I think that in this room, Jesus is more in a turn-water-into-wine-lets-celebrate kind of a mood.
