so i've made it through my first two weeks of mommy-hood.. and i am completely exhausted but everything is so worth it.
i haven't been able to breastfeed, which upset me at first, but now i am over it. i had gotten an infection due to the episiotomy stitches and was told not to breastfeed for 48 hours and to just pump.. well the pump wasn't doing its job and i got totally sore and well, i just couldn't breastfeed. she is doing fine on the formula though.. which is great. and at least with that, daddy can help with the feeding...
jason is a great dad.. he gets up with her through the weekends when he is off work, so that i can sleep in a little bit (even though i really don't) i usually get up and watch the two of them together. the most amazing thing to me is his ability to get her to sleep when i just can't seem to do it
i still can't believe all this has happened to me. sometimes i'll be sitting there holding her, and i'll tell myself "wow.. i've really got this child for the rest of my life" like i keep expecting her to disappear or something.. i dunno its a really bizarre feeling.
having a child totally makes you appreciate your own mother more.. and i wish mine was still around to see all this stuff..she always wanted to be a grandma... i know she is around though.. i can feel her presence around me.
last night we took maelyn to her great-grandmas house.. and jason's aunt was there.. seems like she had just all kinds of stupid advice for me... trying to tell me what to do with my kid.. it kinda pissed me off.. i mean i yeah.. i know i am a new mommy.. but give me some credit. i've made it two weeks without breaking her. i guess you can kind of expect that stuff though, everyone seems to have something to say.
well this is it for me for a while, maybe the next post i make i'll put up some more pics..
