Holy crap. I was just sitting here staring at Chiyo's chubby cheeks, and I quite literally felt that my heart was in danger of exploding from too much love. Disgusting, huh? I guess this is what happens when you have a baby. My in-laws are visiting from Japan, and they caught me crying with joy. Since my Japanese sucks, I don't think they got the whole "I'm overwhelmed with love for the baby" thing, and my mother-in-law immediately tried to send me for a nap. Hey, I'll take it!
Quick update:
- Breastfeeding still hurts like hell. I've seen 9 people about it, and the newest theory is that Chiyo's tongue-tied, meaning that we need to have her assessed by someone else. I'm getting desperate!
- She's gaining weight well, and is currently at 9 lbs 14 oz! My goodness! She's getting enough milk, but she needs to nurse for more than an hour at a time to get it, leaving us both frustrated.
- Dog and I are crazy about her; I actually think she gets cuter each day. She even smiles now!
