And he arrived almost 4 weeks ago! Where has 4 weeks gone??! There's so much to say about the last 4 weeks but it seems I have no time to write it all.
Cub Scout arrived 12 days early at 38 weeks and 2 days. My water began leaking a couple of days before his birth. I did not want to be induced so on the instruction of my midwives I went for acupuncture and took castor oil and that seemed to do the trick. Labour started later that evening and Cub Scout arrived in dramatic fashion - just a couple of hours of labour and he was here. I delivered him at home in our bedroom with the assistance of the midwives.
It was my perfect birth. I couldn't have asked for anything different. It was a wonderful experience.
Cub Scout is perfect and we are smitten with him.
Being a mommy is amazing. And still hard to believe some days. We aren't into any sort of routine yet. And the lack of sleep is challenging. I don't feel myself yet...I have to remind myself that it's not yet been 4 weeks since I gave birth and it will take time until I feel better.
These days Cub Scout and I just take it easy. Sleep and eat and rest is all we do. I would like to do more but outings seem like too much just yet. Maybe in a couple of more weeks.
It's amazing the love you feel for a child. There's nothing like it.
I love staring at him.
I love holding him.
I love nursing him.
I love seeing him in his daddy's arms.
I love seeing the love his grandparents have for him.
I am blessed.
