The honeymoon's over.
The glorious days of snuggling a newborn while he sleeps all day are slowly fading. Landon's already craving a schedule and is beginning to prefer naps in a crib rather than next to my beating heart, but I am fighting it! I hate that the newborn stage is so short.
Loose baby skin is being replaced by chub and rolls. Newborn clothes are not allowing for the full leg stretch. My furry baby is beginning to look like an old man with a rapidly receding hair line {he still has the awesome sideburns, however!}.
Housework can no longer be ignored completely now that I'm starting to feel better. I still have a few more weeks of doctor-ordered "taking it easy", but I can no longer spend all day lounging on the couch in my pajamas....there are things to be done, people!
I love the first 6 postpartum weeks. There's nothing like it. So many emotions- mostly gratitude and love. Love for this new little life that has become entwined with mine, and Gratitude for a husband and family who have taken over many of my maternal duties so that this little life and I could get to know each other. I've relished these few weeks we've had to focus just on US.
It goes by too quickly, but such is life.

It does go by too quickly. I say put everything off for another 2 weeks! :)
I agree, cherish those times, you will never regret it!
