It's a Baby! (and I should be sleeping)

I really should not be posting. I should be sleeping. But I couldn't resist saying that he finally arrived!! Yay! 9 days "overdue". It was a long and difficult labor (according to the midwife, I wouldn't have known the difference) but stubborness prevailed and I was successful in my homebirth plan.

Baby Y is absolutely delicious. I can't take my eyes off him. Even when exhausted and overwhelmed by the struggle to get him to feed (who heard of a baby who didn't want to eat?!) I am just completely in love with him. But I don't know how women have babies while in school or just before beginning the term. My god. I need the full summer to recuperate and figure out how my new baby works. I am but a mere shadow of my former physical strength. Hopefully I will bounce back quickly but this week I am like an elderly woman, toddling around the apartment, exhausted by the mere act of getting dressed.

I have lots more to say about it all but that's the update at the moment. Babies are so fun! (And I don't normally say that sort of thing.)

Good luck, DreamingLady in your baby wait.
