the difficulties of being a new parent

let me preface all of this by saying that I love my son to death. I would give my life to save his. He is such a blessing to Lisa and I.

Nolan has been crying a lot lately. is it colic? is it reflux? we dont know. All we know is that the poor guy has been crying his eyes out at certain times of the day. We try to soothe him by offering the pacifier, shushing him, etc. Occasionally it helps, sometimes, it doesnt. it's so heart wrenching to see little nolan cry. his voice gets hoarse and his face turns red. It's times like these that makes me question my ability to parent. it's strained the both of us. it's also strained our relationship with each other.

sometimes i just dont know what to do.

we both don't and we'll be learning with each other... most important thing is to support each other in a loving way. And pray for each other, we need to be in this together. Sorry about the fights and disagreements... I love you!
