I have been receiving weekly newsletters throughout the pregnancy from a site called Babycenter.com. Here's what came today... nothing like a "friendly" reminder that my little guy is still snugly tucked away in my belly!
Hello from BabyCenter!
Your Newborn
Welcome home! Right now, your new baby won't be doing much besides nursing every two to three hours and sleeping off and on around the clock. You may be feeling a little shell-shocked. That's normal — and it's your cue to take it easy. Your main job right now is to tend to your post-delivery aches and pains, learn how to breastfeed, and shower your baby with love. Concentrate on those basics, and when your baby drifts off to sleep try to grab a catnap yourself — the laundry can wait.
As I look around our house this morning, all I can see is growing mountains of laundry. Since we're still in a "blissful" holding pattern (ahem, sarcasm)... guess I'll go start a load and finish the ironing while I'm at it.
"The sparrows jumped before they knew how to fly, and they learned to fly only because they had jumped." –L.O.
