Happy one month little guy! What a whirl wind of a completely life changing past 30 days! I will say it has gotten a bit easier, but I wouldn't describe being a new Mom as "easy," not by a long shot.
There have been a couple of really tough nights this past week in which Levi was very fussy and just did not want to sleep and was crying a lot. He wanted to be constantly nursing, which is a lot of work for Mom.
Breast feeding, in general, is going well but I did come down with an infection this weekend, called 'Mastitis,' which is basically an infection and inflammation of the breast tissue. It was extremely painful and also caused a low grade fever for a few days. Not fun while trying to manage other Mommy duties and continue feeding. luckily it wasn't too severe and seems to be on its way out now.
Every day is a new adventure and every day Levi seems to get cuter and cuter! We have been talking to him a lot, reading to him, practicing tummy time, and just "ooohing and ahhhhing' over him constantly.
We are just so grateful he and we are all healthy and that we are able to provide for his needs. Got to remember the blessings and good stuff all the time. :-)
We loooove to hold him all the time. The pics below are so precious. How blessed we are :-)
“Beyond our ideas of right-doing and wrong-doing,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase ‘each other’
doesn’t make sense any more.” - Rumi
