I've learned to nurse one handed, no hands even at times like now. (Thank you, My Brest Friend pillow.) So I thought I would pot a little update here. Tuesday we had a little amateur baby photo shoot here at home copying looks from other websites.
Here are the results
Getting the shot and pose isn't the easiest thing. Good thing I had 2 assistants to hold the baby up and push on the bean bag, pull the blanket tight, etc.
There are some other angles I wanted but since we were in a corner and I didn't think to twist the beanbag (to avoid the corner seam in the pic) we will have to try again another time.
See sweet pictures help me survive through less-than-ideal
Night feelings. And the real deal is pretty cute too. I am still very emotional (translation: any harsh comment, teasing, criticism, etc could cause outburst at any time, especially if I am hungry.) just being realistic...it feels like the emotional toll of new balance at home is sometimes harder than physical lack of sleep. Although i could go for some sleep right now...
Girl, you're doing an amazing job! Be patient with yourself, those post natal/nursing hormones are no joke. I promise you, it will even out. He's perfect.
ReplyDeleteI just caught up on your blog. OH MY GOLLY...girl, your birth story is cuh-razy. So similar to mine...HA! NOT! Good job for popping that little booger out au naturale. :) Stud mama. Congrats on him. He's so dang cute. And that pic of your "picture helpers" is funny.
ReplyDeleteI do think you've made the cutest baby ever. There's going to be no topping that one. Of course it's no wonder since I did such an awesome job changing Zach's diapers all those years ago. I'm pretty sure that has something to do with it. Right? Right?...
ReplyDeleteOh and I just read the bottom paragraph. I.feel.you x 10. I promise it gets better. I think the 2 week mark was when it subsided for me. Also, getting out on my own helped a lot. I think I left Jack with Jason after only a couple of days. It took me forever to walk up to the coffee shop because of my "birthing injuries" haha but it did a wonder. Made me feel like me. Anyways, pretty soon the new becomes the norm...and more sleep does wonders. I swear it makes you totally irrational to be so sleep deprived. Ok. I'm done now. :)
