Postnatal

It seems my entire apartment is covered in breast milk

Breast feeding is the most consistent and proud cooking I've ever done. While it is still challenging, it is pretty amazing and rewarding. Plus I love her breathing and swallowing sounds and that quiet alone time we have together where she is close and can smell me and I can just adore her.

4 hours of sleep has never felt so refreshing

There is something so sweet and precious about hearing others call your baby by name

I'm glad I postponed my PhD so I don't have to sacrifice one second of this magical time with this gorgeous child

My tummy has gotten much smaller much more quickly than I anticipated

I feel so thin, while loosey goosey

I love laying and sleeping on my back again

I love to pee every once in a while (rather than every 20 minutes - not an exaggeration) 

During labor I thought about how much I wasn't ready for a baby and kept thinking I didn't want one. This beautiful girl came to me and I fell in love hard and quickly and overwhelmingly. My tiny Regina.
