Emmett's First Night Home

I'd like to say that Phil & I successfully survived our first night @ home along with Emmett. & that as scared as we were, it was surprisingly easier than television or other moms made it seem. I'm sure I'm in for some nasty surprises later on, but for now I don't mind being extremely groggy waking up every few hours. I guess it's just knowing that I get to see his adorable little face. :)



That was taken this morning after his breakfast. It's so amazing seeing his body finally occupy all those little outfits I'd chosen, washed, folded, and neatly put away for months.

How I'm Feeling Postpartum I'm upset that I didn't have them weigh me before I left the hospital because I was curious. My stomach isn't looking so bad. It still has that red itchy rash on it, but it's slowly fading. & my tummy still has that extremely stretched lived-in look. I have to wait at least this week out before I can start doing my exercises to help fix up my ab muscles.

As for the pain, well, below... ouch. I'm absolutely terrified for my first... actual deuce. & even though I know it's healing it's still quite frustrating. Let me explain...

Phil is the most amazing daddy I've ever seen. & he is more than happy to take on most of if not all of the duties. I know he's helping me out because he knows I need to heal, but I feel quite useless. I try to do as much as I can, but most of the time I feel it's not enough. I don't know if this is the baby blues stage of the postpartum mood swings, but I can't wait until I can help out more.

Anyway, I'm going to leave you with this 3 minute video of Phil & I rightly being the most naturally narcissistic any two humans could possibly be & get away with it.





Enjoy! :)
