Being a mom a second time has been better than expected. I had many concerns, since the first few months of Ant’s life were stressful. Ant had weight checks, breastfeeding issues, and many other issues. Plus adding in being a first time mom and recovering from a c-sec.
The first 2 weeks have been a dream with V. She will be 2 weeks officially on Saturday and time is already flying by quickly. V is a great nurser! She is exclusively breastfed with no supplementing. I was a little worried but after her Drs appointment yesterday, I think I can finally relax. V is back up to her birth weight of 7lbs 15oz in less then two weeks. Also he fractured collar bone is almost healed and it doesn’t seem to bother her.
Ant is adjusting to being a big brother. Most mornings he asks to hold baby V. Also the three of us love to cuddle together. I know he is going to be a great big brother but I need to learn to balance being a wife and a mom of 2 kids. I am a little worried how I am going to do once I have to go back to work. Right now I am just going to enjoy my maternity leave with my two kids and husband.
I want to share my birth story and I will hopefully finish it this week.
