Being a new Mom is really awesome. It's overwhelming as well, though. Some of the best things about having a newborn is waking up to Audie's sweet noises. She *almost* never cries. When she's hungry or waking up, she just just makes a bunch of little sighs and grunts. It's so cute! The times she does cry is when she's cold from a bath or baby wipes. Audie furrows her brow alot in her sleep, making the cutest faces. I absolutely love having a newborn baby and it makes me sad to know that she's growing everyday. I want her to stay this little forever! lol. I cannot kiss her little baby head enough or her chubby cheeks. People aren't kidding when they say there is nothing like the love a mother has for her child. Audrey is still in preemie clothes. My mom said that I'll be sad when she actually fits in newborn clothes, saying that she's growing up too fast! lol.
Other news: Breastfeeding is going great! It was hard at first because it took a while for my milk to come in, then I wasn't producing much. I just pushed through it and kept breastfeeding and pumping to increase production. It worked and now I don't have to supplement with formula. I only do that if it's the middle of the night and I just want to feed her really quickly. Using disposable diapers has gone really well, so far, surprisingly. A week and 2 days in and there have not been any blowouts or leaking problems.
Post partum hormones are crazy! I'm super emotional and I go back and forth being sad and happy. It's normal though and I'm still adjusting to the role of mommy. Whenever I do feel sad, I just hold and cuddle Audie and I feel better. She's such a joy.
It's dinner time and almost time to feed the babe so I need to go! I'll update again soon.
