ReportI'm a mom!!! |
3:50 am last night my son was finally born after only 4 hours of intense labour. It's currently 00:48 and although i expected that sleep would now be in short supply, he's sleeping like a rock and probably would keep doing so if they were to arrange a techno concert next door. I think my body is already programmed to expect more interrupted sleep, so i wake up even though it isn't due to him.
It's really a weird feeling. Being a mom, having a little lump of flesh, fat and bones that are my offspring. I'm still not sure i recognise myself or my fiance in him just yet, but i have grown to really like this little fucker. You might even say he's cute! I'm still a little worried doing a lot of things wrong, since none of us know shit about babies, but they trust us here at the hospital and have given us a lot tips. I mean even lifting a newborn is a bit tricky with the constant need for neck support. But other than that, he's easy as pie. I hope I'm not jinxing it, and it might possibly change, but there is no fuss with this one. He barely whined when he got his k-vitamin shot, when he sleeps he sleeps like a rock, regardless of all the loud construction noise going on at the hospital at the moment, whenever he does whine though, he is very easily comforted. But all this is probably also due to the fact that he still hasn't experienced hunger yet. They examen the navel cord and the midwife told us he had enough resources to last him 3 days. Not that this means he doesn't want to breastfeed, he just doesn't need to for food yet.. |
