Man, breastfeeding can be difficult. A woman's body endures quiet a bit of pain for motherhood. A baby is so demanding on her body. I'd say I'm about 86% recovered, certain parts are sore, my back is tired and overworked. I feel...'wide' I put on a button up shirt thinking it could hide my belly it did the opposite. Buttons held on for life! My bust was too big to get the buttons near each other.... I guess its tee shirts and sweats for a few more weeks *sigh*
Sora has been cute, to me when she cries it sounds like a baby lamb :) She sleeps about 4 hours thru the night, and wakes up around 4:30, which is around the time I would wake up during my pregnancy. She spits up after every feeding which is frustrating, and I don't like burping her (only because I am not good at it and I make her cry). Some times when shes done feeding she yawns in my face and her breath smells like milk! When shes up its the cutest! Her eyes dart around, she likes the pattern on our drapes and the lights overhead in our room. She sleeps perfectly while out in public. Does that last as they get older?
James is off his paternity leave, Im sad about that, it was really nice to have him around! It was almost like a vacation. Plus he cooked and we switched off taking care of the baby. His first day back was kinda hard on me. She wanted to eat what seemed like every hour, I barely slept, no naps and she cried a lot. It also rained and it was super cold, her crying stopped after I put layers on her, Steph came late in the afternoon and made lunch, but that was all I ate til. The second day was much better. I got a nap, kept her warmer and fuller, I had snacks here and there, no coffee *pout lip* cleaned up the room. James came home with a "you're doing a great job mom" card which made me feel a ton better. He's so sweet!
She has alot of baby acne and lots of hair, everyone that meets her has to comment on how much hair she has :) She's also getting heavier my wrists are sore from toting her around.
I tried doing sit up, my back is sore from the epidural shot... I may have a flabby tummy for a while..booo.... I'd like to wear my clothes again =/ I've started walking with her in the stroller, she sleeps the whole time :)
She is one month old today :)
