Wigs on a Baby: Leo has crumbs on his head

I keep eating over Leo when I'm feeding him and dropping crumbs in hair.

I promised no more pictures of me--but this is one in the hospital...the old 'skin on skin right after birth' moment. Jeff took his shirt off when i was in recovery and too sick to hold him for a moment and put Leo on his chest. The nurses thought it was the most endearing thing they'd ever seen. I was worried Leo would start nursing on one of his moles.

Things are going well here on the home front. The first night full blown anxiety attack has not returned. Which is...good. Diane is here (she has chosen her name for Leo to call her..which is "Bubs" so she just sounds like a drinking buddy of his.

It worries me to write anything about what a good baby he is--I mean HE IS A GOOD BABY. but I know that in a weeks time..all could change and colic could set in. I sort of wait around for colic. When I should be just enjoying HOW PERFECT HE'S BEING all the time. His needs are clear. So far. It is eating and pooping and peeing--just like they say in all the books.

As I type this he's in a sling--The Native Sling....and I'm worried that he's suffocating...but at least my hands are free. If I can get this sling thing down--I'll be set. Well..maybe not 'set' but it will help me a lot I think.

I've been looking back at the videos we took last week in the hospital and I look like I weigh 300 pounds I got so swollen up. Lord....what a week. And every day I feel better and better. The c-section thing has been okay. I can get around okay--getting around meaning from the couch to the bathroom. On Monday we went to the pediatrician and he hadn't gained any weight so I was told to feed him every 2 hours and get his weight up. Every two hours-is pretty much constantly but it feels good to get that grub in him.

He's had a lot of visitors--well, one a day at least. Which is wonderful. Only one of my friends so far wouldn't even come close to him because she's scared of babies. So she just peered at him from across the room--and brought me a kit to test your breast milk for alcohol levels. Very helpful. Since I've been drunk since Sunday. Or I guess I should say 'we' have been drunk since Sunday--me and Leo. Leo and I.

Now for some photos for the fam...
