So I have decided to give a brief summary of things I never before understood to give you the highlights of my last week...My son is officially one week old today :-)
1 - The obsession with weight gain for a baby...yes, I now understand why women freak out over whether or not their breast fed babies are gaining weight as I literally felt a weight lift off my shoulders yesterday when the doctor said Ty looks perfect and is gaining weight perfectly!
2 - The obsession of new moms and poop...this was a bit more extreme for me because I knew that Ty needed to poop to help with his jaunidice and yet days went by with nothing...I was really starting to go "poop crazy" and then last night we had our first poop since the hospital...and three more since then all momentously worse than the one before. The doctor warned me about praying for poop...I'm begining to think he was right :-)
3 - How having a baby could make a couple even stronger...if you had told me prior to delivery that having a child would make my marriage stronger, I would have thought it was just odd because I never would have thought that was possible. However, I had the man of my dreams standing (for HOURS) by my bedside while I delivered Ty...we cried together when he was born and we have held each other and him every day since...he has stayed home with me these past few days and we have worked together to get a schedule going and help each other to sleep, eat and generally stay functioning human beings :-). I never thought I could have said that having this baby would make me love my husband more...but somehow I think that is has. My cup overflows!
4 - How an entire day can be spent caring for a baby without much time left over for yourself at all...except to grab a quick meal and maybe do some laundry...no returned phone calls, no bathing, etc. Yep, now I do!
Much love to you all! And more pictures soon to come! I promise!
