Weighing in at a whopping 9 pounds, 14 ounces<\/span>*, Kate is two weeks old today. Here is our two week postpartum report, in a nutshell.
<\/span>
Cool beans:
– Enjoying every detail of her: the feel of her little body on mine, the sound of her breathing, the smiles she makes in her sleep
– Falling in love: with a new person plus with Will and Paul all over again
– Learning why two is so much better than one
– Not worried about Will adjusting
– Enjoying an easy baby with little fussing… even with the discomfort she’s experiencing
– Having Paul and Mom around all day to help (and Dad in evenings!)
– Boppy pillow, Lansinoh Lanolin, Huge nursing sleep bras
– Pacifiers (we’re temporarily using a nuk and have the nursing friendly gerber gentle-flex coming from drugstore.com)
– Not crying every single day
– Not having to finger feed
– Supportive messages from family and friends<\/p>\n

Still sucking:
– Oversupply and engorgement, florceful let down
– Boobs still sore
– Kate’s discomfort due to the above
– Kate’s *very* active bowels as a result of the above
– Feeling like I want to cry, scream, and throw up as a result of the above
– Hemorroids (worst ever!)
– Itchy incision mark
– Figuring out how to fit all of us in one bed
– Wanting to do more (play with Will, go out on errands) but body not being ready or able to handle it
– Understanding how fleeting these days and moments are<\/p>\n

*The standard weight gain for the first two weeks is approximately 1\/2-1 ounce per day. 12 days ago when we left the hospital, Kate weighed 8 pounds, 6 ounces less than her birth weight. Problem with oversupply? YEAH.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
