Kyle is now 10 days old. He eats like a champ, leaving me exhausted. It is almost round the clock – but he has slept 5 hours in a row at night for 2 nights now. Hallelujah!
I was wholly unprepared for his demand on my time. Thank God for my mother, who is waiting on us hand and foot. She brings me water and painkillers while I am breastfeeding. She does my laundry. She goes grocery shopping. She hugs me when I cry. And of course I cry all the time.
Hormones, of course.
It is truly amazing how much time those little ones need, especially the first few weeks. Your Mom is doing the BEST thing, taking care of your needs so you are free to take care of the needs of that precious baby of yours.
That is so great. Moms are the best!
