Week One Doesn’t Suck!

As I have mentioned in a previous post, I was fully expecting the first month of my child’s life to suck big time!  After all, as a new mom with my first child, it did! I didn’t have the slightest clue what I was doing. My son had jaundice, and I had to take him to the hospital daily for surveillance for the first week. He wouldn’t latch on to my breast, so he was losing too much weight. I was tired, so very tired. To add to this,  I was in a city over six hours away from any of my family, and my “friends,” all of which were single, had abandoned me.  It was a very hard time, that followed an extremely difficult labor and delivery.

Imagine my joy that the birth of my beautiful daughter, Beatrice has been nothing short of perfect! She came into this world quickly and easily on August 3rd at 5:25 am, and after one week, I am happy to report that she is eating a lot, and sleeping well at night.  It is a totally different experience, and thankfully, one that doesn’t suck one little bit! Mom, Dad, and big brother are all doing great!
