One week old

My little man is one week old today. And I can't say it more, I love being a mommy! This kid has my heart and soul. In the last 7 days, I have never had this much pain, lack of sleep, foggy brain, and been peed/pooped on so much. I would do it ten times over again. 

I love to sing to him, read to him, tell him stories, etc... 

I'm not going to lie, the delivery was tough. There's a reason they call it labor. That was intense. For 12 hours I labored, the last 2 1/2 I pushed, the little guys head was turned towards my pelvis, so after cutting me a bit, and vacumming him out, we finally got to meet our little man. 

When I saw him I cried and cried tears of happiness. I've never done that before. I've cried because of a sad movie, being upset, etc...but never happy tears. This emotion is something I've not even been able to imagine. 

I've learned alot this week about myself and about newborns. 

I discovered something that saved my life after having the babe. It's padcicles. I made a 24 pack. Big jumbo pads, covered in aloe Vera, witch hazel, and a spritz of lavender for a good smell. Then I froze them. They have been a lifesaver. Do it if you're a new mommy. 

Well babe is calling me...

Peace and Love
