It's been a week at home with Baby E. She's 9 days old today. She is eating well. I'm able to nurse with her as I did with Lil' M. I'm so glad. I am exhausted, but not as zombie-like compared to our first time as parents with Lil' M. We now have a frame of reference.
I love staring at our baby. She's beautiful and glad to finally have her with our family. She reminds me of Lil' M, but I think she has more of my family genes in looks.
Even though it's our 2nd time around the block with a child, I still get nervous. I gotten used to Lil' M being a toddler and knowing how to express herself. Now, we are back to guessing what our baby needs.
Yesterday, Big M took Lil' M trick or treating for Halloween. Lil' M was a pirate and got a decent amount of candy. She was practicing her "trick or treat" phrase all week long. I gave out candy and even attempted to do it while nursing (with a privacy cloth). That only lasted for a few minutes; baby didn't like me moving around too much.
Overall, we're ok. This time, I'm feeling more soreness and I think I may have a little bit of the blues. Nothing serious, but noticeable for me.
