i can't believe it's been a week already. seems like only yesterday i was waiting for him to pop right out of me. the first week was great. i was bracing myself for an episode or two of the blues (you get those postpartum due to fluctuation of hormones) and i got them alright but wasn't that bad. i was crying for ten minutes tops. i locked myself in the bath while mom tended to nathan. didn't let them know i was crying. i cried because i couldn't quell him - he was crying non stop and he was hungry, i wanted to breastfeed exclusively but my nipples aren't cooperating. they've been bleeding and in pain from day one. but now, we're past that and i have been breastfeeding exclusively for three days :)
he is such a darling. i can't stop staring at him. even while he cries, i find him just the most adorable baby ever. and really healthy too. on the fourth day he can already lift his head on his own. and he makes the funniest face everytime he passes gas and even more when he poops. everytime he struggles and grunts to unload, his face would turn red and he would look wildly from side to side, as if trying to see if anyone sees him doing his deed. one instance, i thought he was smiling yun pala umiire. hahaha. he is such a joy to have :)
