We had to learn everything together. We learned about sleeping and the lack of, nursing and the pain that can come along with that. We learned of nurses that would rather take the easy road and feed a baby sugar water rather than help a new mother learn how to feed her baby. We learned about jaundice.
But we also learned how sweet those early morning cuddles can be, and the wonder of a cat seeing a baby for the first time... and vice versa. We learned about sweet laughter. We saw parents become grandparents for the first time and the instant adoration of both parties.
And now, we are learning about girlfriends, and new phones, and how much fun 14 can be. I just adore my teenager. My son. I can't imagine my life without having shared all of these first together.
