Beautiful Day Outside and Inside

As I went to our window in our hospital room several times today and had a view out onto Lake Michigan, I saw the world moving around as it always does. My world has changed and everything I see seems to be covered with a softer light. I know that this is normal during life changes, but I can't help feeling deeply blessed to be experiencing such beautiful human moments. Our son, whom I will call Papito, is a little squirt...literally, from all ends. Weird how I actually think that it is a priviledge to change his diapers, an honor. I'm sure that I'll laugh in a few weeks when I go back over the blog and read that. We are trying to raise our son bilingual, Spanish and English. I lived in Latin America for an extended period of time and now I get to use Spanish at work. I'll only speak Spanish to him and this sort of scares me. Although by all accounts, I'm fluent in Spanish, still it is not my first language so the intimacy is not as strong. Nor do I know the "little household" words that are used in raising children. We'll see how it works.
