Describing being a new mum is not an easy task, but can be resumed in a brief sentence: Hard work... The past week has been full of wonderful feelings: joy, a kind of love that know no boundaries, excitement, happiness... But has also being filled up with fear, exhaustion, tears, desperation and lots of doubts as to "am I doing things right?"... Breastfeeeding has proven to be quite challenging for me. Although Eva latched on from day one on a proper way, I still don't know if she is getting what she needs from me... She seems to be suckling all the time and is tiring...
So far, We have had more than a couple of sleepless nights and I have even had to use a bote of formula and a dummy to help things to be easier... I feel terribly guilty for what I've done, but the good thing is She is still on the breast (and I'm not giving up!).
She is a wonderful and fascinating little one... She spends some time with eyes open, and her silly mummy just stares at her and speak funny voices and silly conversations to her..! What can I say, I'm under a spell!!!
On Saturday night, the umbilical cord came off, thanks God my sister was here to help me out (she stayed with me for the weekend) otherwise I'd probably pass out!
