We are in love.
No matter what anyone tells you, you are never, ever fully prepared for this parenting thing. The last two weeks have been the most intense and challenging of my entire life. We've been on a sleep-deprived emotional roller coaster, with moments of pure joy, terror and sometimes, utter frustration. Also, breastfeeding is hard. But more on that stuff later. Above are some photos from the hospital. Poor thing's face is scratched up in the second one...she's like Edward Scissorhands, but freaks out when we try to put mittens on her. More to come whenever I come up for air again.



Just so adorable..what a little angel she is, congratulations lovely..this is a beautiful time.
ReplyDeleteI like to refer to it as the time of being " Blissful Caos" lots of ups and downs but the sheer love and beauty of it all keeps you keeping on.
Dont worry hon..all will fall into place and you will find your groove with it all, I always say that the first month at least is a write off..after that you suddenly find your feet.
Enjoy this special time and be sure to rest any chance you get..it plays a big part on how you react and tackle things.
Sending big hugs,
