Good Morning Humble Readers...
Where to begin?
Right now my brain is still foggy and more than a bit love-addled, so I apologize if this post makes no sense at all.
Our precious Halfling, who for privacy's sake will hereafter be referred to as Ginevra (bonus points if you can name the literary reference), has altered our life immensely and so much for the better. Even in the midst of a postpartum emotional meltdown or frustrations over my lack of breast milk, I wouldn't give a single moment up.
Words fail me when it comes to how I feel just now... at least I can't seem to string them together in anything resembling an articulate manner. So, what follows is just a sampling of words and phrases that describe my mental, physical, and emotional state from the last few days...
Tired
Immensely Joyful
Frustration
So Hungry
Thankful
Adoring
Losing All Sense of Time
Amazed
Sore
Limited
Humbled
Teary
Patient
Irritated
Defensive
Protective
Dehydrated
Uncomfortable
Happy
Isolated
Afraid
Congested
Out-of-Body
Numb
Over-stimulated
Victorious
Exhausted
Failing
Heart-bursting
Awed
Full of Wonder
Swollen
Beyond Blessed

ReplyDeleteEnjoying reading your story...so glad you're wrapped up in Baby Love. Ahhh, so wonderful!
I hope your milk comes in soon, it usually does between 3-5 days and the hormones will heighten at 5 so be prepared. You are doing great! Look at you already able to blog!! :)
ReplyDeleteDon't freak about your milk yet. It will probably happen soon. But, hon, even if it doesn't, you will have a gorgeous, healthy daughter. {{{Hugs}}} and love.
