May Day


Aoife and I had a visitor today: Melanie my doula. We went to the nomad cafe for some lunch to go and then took a walk in our neighborhood. It was a wonderful visit. Melanie told me that Aoife has taken on her own unique look compared to when she was born when she basically looked like every other newborn on the block. I'm really starting to see that more myself now even though I spend all my time with her. In the afternoon I experienced my first bout of engorgement. Wow, it really hurt a lot, and it was difficult to take care of Aoife. Tim came home and brought me a cabbage to relieve the pain, and it really truly worked!
