Birth Story: I will probably write one soon and post it on Gold.
How's mommy life so far?: I love my boy so much but mommy life is hard. Or at least, harder than expected. I feel very overwhelmed and he has had some latching issues that have made BFing stressful and painful. We're working on it and hoping for the best. I'm also really exhausted. I've only slept about 6 hours since he was born and when I try, I can't fall asleep. To add to the exhaustion, I had a 3rd degree tear and recovery from that has been painful. My husband is amazing, though and has really really stepped up for me in terms of caring for baby, caring for me, and making sure I'm in a good place mentally.

How's mommy life so far?: So far its been an easier transient than I thought. DD #1 is still in daycare 4 days a week so that helps. It's been stressful when I have the two girls by myself because I have a hard time prioritizing my attention between the two. BF is going better (but she is a lazy nurser who likes to fall asleep) so I've been pumping more but am finding a hard time pumping when I have the two of them home alone.

How's mommy life so far?: It has been wonderful! I'm gaining my sleep back (slowly) and adjusting to constant feedings, although some of the pains of recovery and breastfeeding are a bit much at times. But DH and I are so bonded (he really went through Hell and back with me over the weekend), and watching him with our little girl just makes my heart melt. He was made to be a daddy, and I'm so glad we get to do this great adventure together.
