2. How are you feeling emotionally? Better! I cried pretty uncontrollably for half the day on Tuesday (we came home from the hospital on Saturday) but other than that, I'm doing okay. I've got a lot of anxiety that comes and goes about random things - if night times are going to be terrible, having visitors, Grey going back to work...etc I'm assuming it's all postpartum stuff and hopefully it'll die down a little.
3. How is James doing? He's a TROOPER that poops constantly. Seriously. We get a poopy diaper every time we change him. :) He's a good little sleeper too. We're blessed for sure!
4. Are you loving being a mommy? It's definitely different than I imagined. I don't know that we're doing everything right but it's currently working for Grey and myself right now so we'll stick with it. Being a mommy definitely comes with much uncertainty - is he sleeping enough? Is he eating enough? Should I be holding him now while he sleeps or laying him down? I'm wet - did I pee on myself or did he pee on me? :)
5. How's breastfeeding going? I'll admit that I don't love it. I think James has a latch problem so we're scheduling an appointment tomorrow morning with a lactation consultant to try and help us out. It's a quite painful at times and he easily feeds for an hour if I let him. That takes a lot out of you when you're supposed to be feeding him every 2-3 hours after he starts that initial feeding.
6. Have you already forgotten about labor? (Insert cuss word here) NO. I'm telling you - we'll adopt from here on out. I'm not strong enough to have to go through that again. I'm a wimp when it comes to pain and I'm okay with that.
Sorry the picture is turned, I can't figure out how to get it upright. This was taken last Thursday, on his 1 week birthday!! (He favors Grey in EVERY aspect but those cheeks baby!! Those are from his momma!)
