I'm a Mom!!!

At some point I will sit down and type out my whole birth story. It was such a blur, which is good since the epidural couldn't keep up (ouch). But right now, I just want to jot down my thoughts on my first week of "motherhood".

• This is by far the biggest and most wonderful thing I have ever done.
• I could spend hours staring at Sophia
• Breastfeeding is challenging. It takes a lot out of you. Not giving up.
• The Halo Sleep Sack may have saved Bill and I from insanity. 
• 2 - 3 hours of sleep a few times a night is bearable ...
• My poor nipples will never be the same.... think power sander.
• Changing diapers is SO not a big deal. Can't believe I was worried about it. 
• I get up several times a night just to check that she is breathing. 
• I just want to kiss her little cheeks all day long.
• The best part of my day is right after any feeding when Sophia falls asleep snuggled right up on my chest.
• Stella is like a second mommy. She gets anxious and whines if Sophia is crying. Its very cute. She also may think the bassinet is a cage and does not like it when we put Sophia down in it.
• I am already sad that Sophia is going to get bigger. I want her to stay this little forever. 
• Bill is an amazing father. Just like I knew he would be. 
• Its crazy how quickly your stomach starts to flatten out. C section swelling is prolonging it but its pretty nuts when you can suddenly see your feet.
• My whole day is totally dictated by what Sophia needs. And I am fine with it :)
• I am so glad that I read a bunch of baby books before she came. They are so helpful and I would have no time for them now. 
• I don't even mind waking up at 1 and 3 am to feed her. Its nice to be so close to her. 
• You really do fall in love like you never thought possible.
