Ironmind Red Nail Hospital Bend


Recommended Posts

Posted

My boy was just born and I wanted to do something to commemorate the occasion. I thought of things that were really important to me, and naturally, bending came up. I had to be careful as the nurses would probably frown upon this. :) And I couldn't crank out my usual music, which was tough, because I was exhausted and going on almost no sleep. No chalk either!

Congratulations.

Save that nail and label it, you have created an heirloom, possibly a tradition.

How cool will that be for your son to give it to his son along with the story, "See what Grandpa could do".

Legacy.

Yeah, I hope someday for him to look back on that and smile. I definitely labeled it ... Don't want it to get mixed up in the "Box of Reds." Lol

Lol, its allgood tho. It will pass. Before too long the baby will be sleeping 7-8 hours through the night and youll get plenty of rest.

My advice now tho, is try and nap throughout the day when the baby does. Your sleep schedule will be jacked this way, but you wont be as wore out.

I'll definitely try that. All night sounds pretty awesome!!!
