My Milkshake Brings All the Boys to the Yard
My milk is in! And I've had the joy of my first leakage all over my gown.
Too bad we haven't completely converted Finn to sleeping all night and waking for only one feeding quite yet. Ha ha. HA! M. and I are heading into another night of barely sleeping and feeding constantly.
I know for the peeps who have been through this before, I'm stating the obvious, but MAN, this is HARD. We have to take it hour by hour, day by day, week by week and look forward to the time it will become a month by month situation.
But I can't describe the joy that is Finn. I can't remember what was there before him. Someday I will. Someday I'll remember what we gave up to have him, even if just briefly. Not right now.

Congrats on your milk coming in! That picture of him is so precious!
Awww look at that precious face. Congrats on your milk coming in. I'm sure Finn is thrilled :-)

*tears of gratitude for your boy*
here's to sleep, one minute at a time.
he's gorgeous.
wow.
Yay! for Milk. :-)
Things will settle, you'll see, soon it will be hard to imagine life without him.
He's beautiful!
People always say it is hard to be a parent. But I don't think you can understand what hard means until you are deep in the trenches of having a new baby.
love the pic! good to hear that the milk has arrived. as for sleep--well, i think it's a shock to the system for a while, but you're bodies will adjust to the new cycles. it sucks, but you get used to sleeping in 1-2 hour intervals (more if you're lucky!).
smooches to Finn (and his moms)!
Yay for milk!
And don't worry - you'll soon forget what a full night of sleep felt like and it won't matter.
What a cutie! :-)
Finn is so gorgeous!!
It gets easier. I remember thinking my son would have to be an only child as doing this again would surely kill me. Now those days of living in 2-hour increments seem so long ago (and it was only a few months ago!) and such a short time.
I thought my milk coming in was the hardest part of pregnancy, L&D, and the aftermath. I was sure my skin would just split open from the pressure.
Enjoy him. Everyone will tell you how fast it goes, but it's still faster than you'll believe.
If nothing else, when you're up at 2 am, 3am, 4am, think of all the other women in the world who are also up, feeding their children.
Congrats!
welcome to the club - it's REALLY hard - but it does get easier - I promise.
And they're just so cute in the process!
What a cutie!!
What an adorable, beautiful and lucky little boy! Congratulations to you all!
p.s. I esp. love his little nose... awww. :)
Love the updates! I remember the first milk leakage that made me think, wow, I have milk! :) He is so cute! Love that picture.
It really is hard, especially with the exhaustion. It will get easier as you get to know your boy.
What a beautiful boy! I am so happy for the two of you!
Re: the nursing/never ending cycle of feedings/no sleep thing...yup. been there. done that. bought the tee shirt.
