So I had a baby girl four weeks ago. It was an amazing experience. I can say that now, but at the time I was pretty sure I would never go through it again.
But, as my mom used to say, you forget about it and want a new one as soon as you do. I think I forgot about it forty eight hours post-birth this time, rather than two-weeks last time.
It was a much better experience... mostly because I have an incredibly supportive husband who was extremely dependable and self-sacrificing... and continues to be.
OK, up and at 'em. Four weeks... now I can do my visiting teaching, parenting, relief-society presiency-ing, reading, homeschooling, cooking, and scripture study again. Right?
Sigh. I wonder what I'm going to do next time... they will outnumber us, and I won't have four weeks to laze around healing. I'll have to be up and at em even while doped up on ibuprophin.
Motherhood... gotta love it.
I really do love it. And I already want another one. I guess this ibuprophin is working a little too well.
We've had only baby girls, and they are so very sweet ...
ReplyDeleteStephen,
ReplyDeleteI only have baby girls, too. They are sweet.
Maren, Thanks. It's fun to see what others out there are thinking.
