This is, by far, the hardest thing I've ever tried to do in my life.
One minute I'm crying about the dimple on his right cheek and his wee toenails, the next minute I'm crying because I feel stripped of the normality and sanity of my previous life...saturated in the smells and stains of breast milk, bedraggled, beyond exhausted. I would kill for 5 hours of consecutive sleep. But the day is filled with little, perfect moments. My husband makes me laugh so hard I think my Cesarean stitches might pop.
