Better Late than Never
I finally posted a She’s Here entry with a photo that one of the nurses took for us at the hospital. I meant to post it sooner, but life with a newborn is anything but leisurely.
There are many more updates in the queue. I just need to find some time to sit down and type it. It seems like I’m constantly feeding baby with nursing every 2 - 2-1/2 hours (40 minutes total each time) and supplementing with the cup feedings which takes another 20-30 minutes. Not that I’m complaining, of course! It’s just an adjustment. One of the many that we’ve been making over the past several days. The learning curve of parenthood is steep, but the rewards are great.
A 30-something Christian girl, blissfully wedded to her perfect match (the yang to her yin) of 14 years. A new mom to her miracle baby, born on October 4, 2008. Living life in Hawaii, less than 5 miles from her hometown, a slave to her mortgage payment, but seeking balance in her pursuit of family, faith, recreation, and rest.
i remember those days too well–it all
began to blend together. CONGRATS, donna!
she is precious and perfect and beautiful.
congrats to the hubs, too! she really held out
on you, huh??
good luck with feedings and adjusting!
it’s a huge learning curve first time around,
but i know you’ll both be pros real quick!
*hugs*
