There have been ups and downs, crazy emotions flying about, and some 6 hour straight sleep nights and some 4 hour straight awake nights.
I still have no idea how people successfully make plans and schedule their baby, as it seems I always have somewhere to be right around the next feeding time and am unable to feed. I also have no idea how people successfully make plans and DON'T schedule their baby - as it seems I make plans and then she wants to feed just before I leave the house. Not only feed - but also projectile spit up all over my duvet cover ? Haha. I guess for now I'll just plan on not making plans and sit at home enjoying my little one :)
I couldn't have asked for a better man to go through this whole thing then the one God gave me... Dan has been amazing (as always.) But I've especially noticed it when it's been a terrible night and he'll come down to the living room just to sit with me and give me some support while I'm feeding for what seems like 3 hours straight and all I want to do is sleep. I usually send him back to bed because I feel bad that he has to go to work the next day... But those few minutes are so thoughtful and so precious.. I don't know what I'd do without him.
So here is to another two weeks... Of what I can only imagine will be more craziness. Bring it on.
Congrats, Rachel (and Dan)! She's beautiful! Love her name too! It's crazy how such a little, tiny person can turn your world upside down, isn't it?! Don't worry, I'm sure you'll find the next few weeks a little easier, and your scheduled life will return! Enjoy every minute. Love Sue

We'll be there soon to help out for the next couple of weeks so you can get a little more sleep and I/we can get some snuggles, cuddles, rocking, bathing, gazing and I suppose a little projectile now + again :)
ReplyDeleteIt is unbelievable at times how such a tiny dependant person can your world upside down, as Susanne says, and at the same time draw from you such joy, protectiveness + love!!
I'm thankful to the Lord for providing such a caring, thoughtful husband for you, just as He did for me almost 34 years ago with Dad :)
Love Mom XX
I am looking forward to your visit - and to have someone here to share in all the daily joys of a newborn ! And to have someone to rock her when I feel I'm about to pass out haha.
DeleteLove you xox
