I felt like my universe had been turned inside out! Despite the books, the websites, the magazines and the endless hours of research I&#8217;d done, nothing prepared me for the shock of those first few weeks at home with my new baby boy. And then two years later when it happened again, I was just as shocked. You&#8217;d think the third time would be a little less overwhelming &#8211; but of course it was not. <\/p>\n<p>When I was thinking about what photo I could use to express that crazy feeling of having completely lost control of the situation, I thought of this old photo of Lucas stacking a precarious tower of blocks with his chubby baby fingers. Until you find your footing with a new baby, you definitely spend a lot of time feeling &#8220;overbalanced&#8221; &#8211; and then, bit by bit, the world returns to a new sort of normal.
