Before Alyssa was born, we were warned that newborns aren’t anything like the Gerber baby and a dark cloud would descend on our house with the introduction of said newborn and would dissipate at about 6 weeks. This warning was shockingly accurate with both Alyssa and Jackson. The first 6 weeks, we felt like we were in a haze, sleep deprived, struggling for balance, routine and ‘normalcy’. Life got a little easier after that first 6 weeks.
Although much about Matthew’s first six weeks has been different from our other experiences, I am glad to report the dark cloud is dissipating right on schedule. I’m not sure we recognized that it had formed over us, but we can see the difference now that the cloud is breaking up. Thank goodness!
To celebrate the cloud departing, we went to the Houston Children’s Festival today. Fun was had by all! Matthew slept through the majority of the event while I carried him in the Moby wrap. 
Alyssa and Jackson enjoyed meeting Ronald McDonald, Super Why, The Veggie Tales, and HEB Buddy as well as seeing the acrobats and jugglers, riding a few carnival rides, and eating some oh-so-good-but-bad-for-you fair food.
Today was a great day and we are thankful for it!
