She's two weeks old today, and truly I cannot believe it's been two weeks. One, it feels like it's been an eternity, and two, it feels like I was still pregnant yesterday. Dear god, two weeks ago at this time I had just started pushing. Boy, was that awful. The intervening time has been great, though; I'm so totally overcome with the need to just love on this little baby from sunup to sundown.
Today is a big day. We are going to the grocery store in a little while. AND I'm doing laundry. Adapting to life with a newborn has meant that I've had to greatly minimize my expectations - I am shocked to find that I have neither the time nor the motivation to DO things. I am realizing that I should have listened to what they said about labor, exhaustion, and housework. But really, when have I ever done what I should?
congratulations!! she's gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleterest when you can & let the other stuff go--there will always be laundry to do and a house to clean, but you won't always have a teeny little newborn to snuggle.
that looks like a mini matt laying next to tucker! tucker is looking like he's still carrying a little holiday weight ;)
