I've sat down to post a few times over the last week and either had writers block or gotten pulled in another direction (usually to change a dirty diaper, soothe a fussy baby or feed said baby). As we speak I'm currently typing with the laptop on my knees, the boppy in front of the laptop with the baby nursing. I have redefined my own definition of multitasking.
We're two weeks in to this parenting thing and everyone is still speaking to one another, still madly in love and more sleep deprived than ever. But we're also all pretty happy. I'm amazed at how well I can function on little sleep. I think the key is taking naps whenever possible. And having a supportive spouse who is actively involved in all aspects of taking care of baby (aside from feeding which is impossible for him to do right now. And really, it's not his fault that he doesn't have boobs).
It also helps to have wonderful friends and family. I'm thankful for all the friends who have stopped by to meet Lukas, keep me company and bring us food - we've been better fed the past two weeks than ever before! I also am very lucky to have my mother close by and to have had my in laws here the first week we were home. A strong support system is priceless and I have one of the best!
So I could go into more detail about how things are going - nursing, sleeping, post-baby-body, etc. But I'm not sure what people care about. So let me know what questions you have and I'm happy to answer them honestly!
