We are in the midst of week 2 with Savannah and can't believe she wasn't here before! It's funny what I remember and don't remember. I remember how to use a breast pump, I don't remember how much it hurt the first week in using it or that it's tricky pumping both at the same time and then removing the equipment without spilling milk! I remember waking up in the middle of the night, I can't remember the best way to fall back to sleep. I remember how to change diapers, I did not remember how often we should, and do, change them!
Bit by bit, it's all coming back...
And I find myself enjoying it more! The high anxiety and stress and fear I felt with Cass is not so much in the forefront this time around. So I feel better able and prepared to take care of her with confidence and an ease that was not there with Cass. But there is still a lot of unknowns and surprises- enough to keep me on my toes!
