In our house we call this "milk coma"
Sorry for the quick updates but my baby will be one week old tomorrow. It's been an amazing, tiring, sometimes frustrating week but my husband and I make a good team and he overlooks the raging hormones. (yea, it's true, they rage over the dumbest thing)
I have amazing friends. They have really been helpful with house cleaning, meals and just advice. The lactation ppl really made me feel bad the other day and my doctor told me to ignore most of what they said. I have to take blood pressure medicine over the next week because the doctor thinks excess water is why it's so high. Woo hoo water weight! I have anxiety again. I haven't had that in a while so I'm working the Secret on everything these days, being positive.
Well, off to give my baby a milk coma. Anyone have advice on what is a good way to remember which side you nursed on? I always forget!

No time for real post
I have been feeling a bit overwhelmed having this kid way eariler than expected but I love him so much, I can't put it into words.
First off, my husband is amazing. He went in search of a breast feeding pillow and surprised me with one.
Friends have been coming out of the woodwork to help out. It's either food, dog sitting, giving me a nap, taking me to the store and even getting me an appointment with a dermatologist because I broke out in hives due to the fact I was allergic to the hospital gown and sheets.
Breast feeding is hard. I thought I was doing it right but the little monkey was getting too little. Now I know.
I must now master the art of putting baby to sleep at night. I think he's asleep -- just checked he is. Brian would say "go to bed" but I am not tired and I have to feed him at 2 a.m. anyways.
The whole birth story is to come someday when I am not tired or crying for no reason. I just found out today that I do I elevated blood pressure and must do something about it. No clue I had it until 10 days ago as my BP kept creeping during the pregnancy.
Well, off to bed for two hours -- I hope.

No longer knocked up
I'm now a sleeped deprived new mom. I can't type long but I wanted to make a post that I had my baby on Friday. A full long post is to come but baby is healthy and happy along with dad and mom who are so in love with this little guy, we can't imagine our life without him. But we do miss sleep.
As for right now, we're not taking visitors unless you're willing to hold baby and let mom sleep. I just can't stomach entertaining much.
Until then, we'll be uploading more photos, when we have a free moment!
