The first 2 weeks

Lord have mercy! I can't believe it's already been 2 weeks since Jacob was born. I can remember what the first few weeks were like with Sammy and the experience with Jake could not be more different.
With Sammy, I never slept. I rarely ate. I didn't breast feed because of the added stress, which I could not take anymore of. I remember feeling like I was in a panic the whole time. Totally lost, and out of my element.
With Jacob, I got to sleep, even in the hospital. We have good nights and bad nights, but even on the bad nights I get sleep. I eat 3 meals a day. I make sure I have a snack at night because breast feeding makes me hungry and thirsty. We are doing AMAZING with breast feeding, and with pumping enough so I can go to class. I'm still working on getting chores and things around the house done with 2 little ones, but I'm sure I'll adjust.
I am a much more confident mommy! And I think Jake and even Sammy can sense it.
Tomorrow my mom leaves and we will be on our own as a family of 4. I can't wait to see how we handle this. I haven't really experienced much in the way of the "baby blues" this time around but I think I may feel it more in the coming weeks when I will be spending more time by myself. Stay tuned.
