It's taken me a few months, but I've finally gotten around to writing a little about my experiences as a new dad. A few weeks ago, I started to get scared that I would forget what it felt like to look at my brand new baby for the first time, or to hear her cry or see her smile. For that reason, and in case anyone else is interested in reading what I have to say, I am going to try to write down impressions or feelings that I have about being a new daddy.
So... without further ado

Lazy Days

Yesterday I took my last final. It feels nice to wake up in the morning and not have to worry about studying for another test. Then again, I am 26 years old, it seems crazy to still be worrying about finals and tests. Shouldn't I be past that yet? Apparently not. They tell me that as a doctor, the tests never end. You are constantly studying and learning and taking new tests. So, I guess this is just a way of life. Which makes the day after even better. It's really nice to wake up, walk in to get Maya out of her crib, and know that I get to spend the whole day with that little angel. Today we crawled around on our hands and knees, played her drum, did push ups, tried to learn how to walk and took a nap (both of us). It's days like this that make the rest of the days worth it.
