Two weeks ago I had a son.
IT IS CRAZY!!!
It is one thing to be warned at the sleep deprivation, frustration, stiffness, soreness, etc but it is something else entirely to experience it. I'm not sure I was prepared for the pain of breast feeding. WOW! I know it means we still have work to do with his latch but YEOZA! No one ever said that chunks would be literally taken out of the breast, or that the breasts would hurt if the baby didn't feed often enough. Apparently I needed to attend classes on breast feeding BEFORE having the baby. I thought it was just going to be a fairly easy natural thing. Yeah, not so much. But my son is a little trouper, and he is dealing with his crazy mother :)
So far he has gained about an oz a day since birth. We really need to invest in a scale that works properly though, as at home there is no way to tell what he (or I) weigh.
Well baby is waking up so time to feed him. Thank goodness for the internet, I found a few new positions to breast-feed and there is one that 90% of the time he latches great, no real pain just a tugging feeling :) So I'm super excited about that!
Ha... half this post was about boobs - I'm such a mom!
Want pictures of my little cutie?
This is while mommy was getting stitched :-/ 
our first meeting... skin to skin and eventually we even managed to breast-feed the little guy.
