I had a rather difficult delivery,,,
and of course this being our first night at home, Anne is being fussy and refuses to sleep in her crib.
We've been praying for you. I am so glad you are both doing well, even if the sleep thing isn't happening yet.
I know it's hard It's age old advice--but sleep when your baby sleeps...don't try to get things done around the house. Right now every ounce of strength you have is learning how to be a momma to this new little one. Pass baby off awake so you can shower--and save Anne's sleeping time so that you can rest, too.
Just a word--be on the lookout for day 10 post-partum--it's usually the low point, it's when your hormones kind of bottom out. Try not to make any big decisions until after the two week mark.
Don't expect any progress on the sleep thing for a while.
Congratulations!
BTW, how do you feel about arranged marriages?
Congrats DLF!
So, has hubby gone shopping for Anne's new Hab sweater yet?
DLF...I think Eva was looking to hook your Anne up with her Joseph. If you guys could reach an agreement, then they could be the first second generational OBOB marriage.
Oh, and about the blanket thing...
Most babies adore being wrapped snugly into a blanket. It makes them feel secure, as well as keeping them warm. Think about it...they've just spent the last nine months (all they know of life) being closely held within you. And the last little bit of that time was pretty snug.
