Things are good. I'm healing physically, so much faster than with the Cesarean (of course). L and I snuggled up with F on the couch, watched Annie and ate mountains of popcorn yesterday. It was really good to do something "normal".
As I did the first time, I'm having so postpartum sadness (ie. frequent crying episodes). It mainly revolves around L's growing up so much, which is much harder to take than all the crying I did the first time around, focused on the cats being pushed away. I keep telling myself he was going to grow up anyway and a lot of this is the hormones.
This guy now has a name!
It's nice how much easier the baby care aspect is the second time around. Breastfeeding is a breeze, co-sleeping is easier, I've started slinging earlier. EC is still pretty hit and miss, I've caught quite a few more but still catch less than not. This is due to how much F pees and poops while he is sleeping. I assume L did this too, at least up until the 4 or 5 week point where we started noticing him signaling. I'm enjoying seeing the differences between the two of them.
Big yawn:
