The little family of 3 has expanded to 4 On hindsight, its much easier coping with 1 baby than 2 kids, although Louis and I seemed very busy and flustered when we were first-time parents with Faith :)
Nonetheless, the one month had passed pretty quickly and before we knew it, we were celebrating Saige's Full Month.
While I would have liked to blog more about our #2, a lack of time, energy and pure sleep deprivation have led to tardy and greatly reduced posts about Saige. We are ever apologetic. However, even as we cut down on the number of posts, at least, we make effort to put up some pictures of her.
The first two weeks of her birth was relatively relaxing in that she mainly nurses, poops and sleeps a lot. You can dump her in the cot right after burping her for a feed and she drops back to sleep with nary a care or fuss. As the 3rd week came along, she started to fuss, wanting to be carried and cuddled. That's where the challenge started and how accidental parenting arise.I'm sure we would still have our fair share of accidental parenting in the months to come. Only this time, we are resigned to it and have better managed our expectations -- i.e not to have any expectations. We know things would work out eventually and we will get a full night's sleep. We just don't know when. With Faith, it took us 18 months :)
On the flip side, Saige latches and nurses very well, right from birth. Its tiring when you have to do an all-nighter of 2-hourly feeds, plus those in the day, all of it while recovering from a c-sect. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. It beats being an on-demand cow for 24x7 with no fixed timings and trying to rouse a sleepy baby from her sleep to take more than 5 minutes of nursing each time.
For now, its another milestone that we have reached and there would be more to come.
Happy Full Month, Saige!
