So we're on day 11 of The Life of Lauren and our lives have definitely changed. All those people who warned us were not kidding when they said it was tiring. I am trying to sleep when she sleeps, but honestly how do you ever get anything done?
The hardest part of the day is 10 p.m. - 12 a.m. we just can't seem to get her to settle down at that time. Between gas, hiccups, intense hunger and poo explosions, that time of the day is very difficult and frustrating. Once she is asleep, the rest of the night seems to go fairly smoothly with her waking up at regular three hour intervals to eat, but it's getting her to sleep initially that is difficult.
I am still having some issues with my incision - I wont get into the details here - but that is weighing heavily on my mind. I am very much ready for the "my body is a science experiment" to be over. I look forward to the day when my boobs, crotch and milk supply are no longer the topic of every conversation.
I should also mention before I end this post, that the best part of the day is right after she eats and she drifts in and out of sleep. She makes the cutest facial expressions - she even smiles at me - or it could just be gas, but whatever it is, it's adorable!
