Has it really been a month since this little person was pulled unceremoniously from my body? The ticker says a month, so I guess that's right. To me it feels like one very long day.What has happened in that time?
- We've got the hang of breastfeeding, with random bouts of blocked milk ducts and sore nipples.
- I've figured out that crying means hunger and a particular frequency of yelping means tummy pain.
- I've also realised that the smiles dont mean "you're heaps funny, mum", but "I've just done a big stinky poo that you have to clean up. Suckers." Which, surprisingly, I dont mind doing at all.
- The Baby Blues lasted all of two days.
- When he cries there is no possible way of ignoring it and I swear sometimes it will rip my heart out.
- Someone can be so cute you want to eat them.
- A bunch of other stuff that I cant remember because my brain has taken a very long holiday.
- Some other things that I cant remember because he's just started screaming again and I cant think about anything other than getting him to stop.
Happy mensiversary, dear Spudly!
ReplyDeleteJust catching up, Panda -- fat chance about your having the most boring blog. Fat chance!
I'm glad to hear everything is going well, and that you are settling into a routine. I hope the milk production picks up quickly.
And I'm sorry about the parents. What can you say?
I can't believe how quick it's gone. I am three days off my due date and I just know this baby is not going to come out. I am dreading introducing the baby to the mother-in-law. She is f***ed up to the extreme! Looking forward to the day we met in Aussie land.
