Day 32

Day 26
Did I ever write about the sitz bath or sitting on that stupid donut? I feel a need to say how degrading and painful the first two weeks after birth are. People always talk about labor pain -–hell, get the epidural and you’re set for that. It’s after that’s awful. […]

Day 25
His eyes fill with water, but no tears roll. I read that he should have tears by now, so I worry. Then friend with a newborn says, no, just their eyes fill up. Well, his do do that, so why did the book say “tears”? Aren’t tears what roll down […]

Day 20
You love your hair washed & combed and your face rinsed. When I first saw that scrub brush they used on your head it looked so hard! Like a kitchen sink scrubber! But I’ve found it’s actually soft and you love it.

You will not sleep today. You’ve barely slept even in my arms – and not at all when I’ve tried to put you down. Oh, baby, I’m soooo tired….

Day 18
9 pounds, 11 oz, 22” long and 14½ head circumference! Our 2 week check up was smashing! The doc says our baby is “thriving”. And while he said I couldn’t overfeed him, he did ask if I was interested in becoming a wet nurse! And, I was talking to a student […]
