- We're having a bit of a rough time adjusting and the postpartum blues have set in pretty hardcore. Thankfully, they're not the get-that-thing-away-from-me sort, but rather the can't-get-enough-of-her sort.
- Our first baby pictures arrived in the mail today and I have to admit (even if I am a little biased), she is one adorable little girl. B still has to upload pictures from the hospital, and his mother has taken several photos as well. I still need to get my camera base hooked up so I can charge my camera.

- My back now has a pain in the middle where I had my fun little shot.
- The baby was delivered C-Section with little labor (could possibly explain why she's so beautiful - no cone head). I would say more details to follow, but honestly, I remember very little of my hospital stay. I had some absolutely wonderful nurses but I also had some horrible nurses. I want to thank all the women at the hospital who helped me. Some of them were so kind and helpful and they made my stay that much easier. The baby had the same issue with nurses. I want to thank all the nursery nurses who were so good with her and helped me learn more about her.
- Mommy is very tired and still recuperating. Baby is well behaved, though (thankfully).
- B has been so incredibly helpful. I love this man so much. He is absolutely adorable with the baby and has been so patient with all of us. I'm sure he's going nuts having to deal with us all the time, especially when I get all teary.
- The nursery is almost all put together. We need to find a home for the diapers, still need to find a changing pad for the table we bought at IKEA (apparently it's not a standard size), need to put the playpen we picked up on eBay back in the carrying case ($40! What a bargain!), need to put up the picket fence and all the bugs, and then I think it will be done. The baby is sleeping in a bassinet in our room for now, so it's not that big of a deal yet, but the sooner that room is finished, the better I'll feel.
- It hurts to sneeze, cough, laugh, walk, open certain containers, ride in the car, move to sit/lay down, get up, etc. I honestly don't know that there's much it doesn't hurt to do. I know eventually I'll feel better, and I certainly feel tons better than I felt right after the surgery.
- Trying to fit in two showers a day with a brand new baby isn't easy.
- Her gurgles and coos make everything I've had to endure so totally worth it.
Bed beckons (after the second shower, that is... and the 11:30 PM feeding... and the next dirty diaper... ).

I had a heck of a time trying to squeeze in one shower for a while. :) I'm so glad you haev such a strong and loving supporter in your husband.
Reading your bit about the shot in the back made me squirm. Mine still hurts, not terrible hurts, but little twinges- from Toby's labor. They got it in wrong, and then I had a contraction while he was trying to pull it out. I was too freaked out to let them try again.
Blues and all, I'm so happy for you. Try to remember that the blues are very normal and to be expected. Just keep snuggling that baby and loving your man. It'll pass.
