Well, welcome to my new life! - it's almost midnight and baby Alex is fast asleep. Now "they" tell you to try and sleep when the baby sleeps but what "they" don't tell you is that when she's awake you get nothing else done....so Mike and I are busy trying to burn pics of the little sleeping angel so we can show her off to the world. Speaking of the angel, otherwise known as "peanut" she is blemish, blotch and wrinkle free - I may be biased in saying this but she was one cute newborn! As you can see on Mike's blog, she is pretty irresistable and I am completely in love. I have replayed the whole labor experience over in my mind a lot over the last sleepless ten days, and as unpleasant as it was (what happened to the promise of drugs, god it was excruciatingly painful!) there is nothing in life that compares to the sight of your newborn entering the world. She is already turning her little head (yep even her head is small and cute) to the sound of my voice and breast feeding like a miniature piranha. I think Mike posted a picture of my first breastfeeding experience so I won't go into any more detail, except to say...OUCH.! I could start typing about the mind blowing thought that Michael and I created this perfect baby but it's late and I still can't grasp that whole concept myself yet let alone try and describe it. The feeding station will be opening soon for Alex so I must sign off because strange things happen to my body whne she cries!......h.x
