APOV
The first month of my son's life flew by and I was amazed at how much he changed with each passing day.
Josh was now smiling and his eyes had turned from the blue that most newborns have to more of a hazel color.
I hadn't left the apartment much in the past month and I was starting to go a little stir crazy. Diane, Caroline, Charles, Les and my dad would stop by frequently to check on me and the baby and I thrived on the contact.
Diane could sense that I was starting to lose it so she suggested that I get out and do something. I decided to do some volunteer work at the hospital and Diane agreed to watch Josh every Friday afternoon so I could do it.
The first time I went they had me go the children's wing and read to all the sick kids. I loved every minute of it. Even though the kids were sick and some cases dying they were still so hopeful and upbeat, it was truly inspiring.
I walked into the hospital today anxious to what they had in store for me.
