Tandy and I have survived the last few nights on our own! It takes a bit of discipline and planning — aggressively resting when we are off-shift, and treating the shift like a real job one must have energy for! We are developing our intuition in relation to the little one, sharing tips and tricks that have worked on our shifts, and there have been less episodes of inconsolable crying. I know things will change just as we get the hang of things, but hey, I’ll take the little victories. We even went for a very slow walk around the block today with Ouisie!
I’ve also had some time to read about post-partum healing. Very interesting so far and some thoughts on that to come.
Be sure to check out the new “gallery” we put up with photos and videos! I hope y’all (grandparents especially..) enjoy!
