My first child was born this past Tuesday, December 28th, at home at 6:38 a.m. He weighed 7 lbs. 12 ou., and arrived 12 days early. Labor was eight hours long. Mom, Dad, and baby are all healthy, happy, and in blissful love.
The one thing that I didn't accurately anticipate? Nursing is sincerely hard work. Hard work as in a complete preoccupation for many hours of every day and night.

ReplyDeleteOh Lord, breastfeeding is hard work. But once we finally got the hang of it, I enjoyed those moments together. Also, I got really good at reading article pdfs on my iphone with one hand.
Best wishes as you figure it all out. You'll do great!

Holy crap! I had no idea you were expecting. Flannery and I also had a baby; Romy was born on 12/19. Her mom also finds nursing to be a complete chore, but she's adjusting rapidly. We'd just be happy if the baby didn't have such horrible separation anxiety. She needs to be held 24/7. I've learned to sleep (sort of) sitting up with a baby on my chest.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you and CK. Parenthood is really amazing. And awful. And mostly awfully amazing.
Aawwwww your baby is soooo cute!! CONGRATULATIONS! I'm so very happy for you!

Hi! This is Samantha from the presentation today. I found your blog--seems like having a baby makes you not update. TOTALLY WEIRD. Are you on facebook?
ReplyDeleteA few things!
A. My flickr account is "dickensanddovegrey." Although not as interesting as a blog, it is more frequently updated.
B. Please tell me mephit has to do with D&D. If it doesn't, I'll slowly back away and act like I didn't make that comment.
C. I look forward to hearing more about your project :)
