Waking up with her in the morning is such a joy. During the night I can't see her face, but during the day we rediscover each other again. She is the most beautiful thing ever, and I become overwhelmed by the love I feel for her. Her eyes are starting to become more blue each day. She also looks a little jaundice today.

One thing that she seems to love a lot is comfort suckling which right now is impossible for me to give her. She does like my pinky finger a lot though. Tim and I are wondering whether to give her a pacifier or not. Tim did some research and it seems that even though it is a quick fix that there might be important cues that we are missing. I would really only want to use it at night. After talking Tim realized that he needs to comfort her at night after I feed her, so that she doesn't comfort suckle.

I can't seem to sleep during the day; I'm just so happy to be with her. My milk came in today. I like nursing, but I'm so sore from it. The initial latch on really hurts.

Right now she is burrito wrapped and laying on daddy. He's so good to her. He wore her for hours today. I wish my body wasn't is so much pain so that I could enjoy leisurely time with her. Right now i feel like a feeding machine, but that is also how we are bonding.
