I love Ryan's face in this picture. He just looks so content.
The other day at work, I was talking to a 1st grade teacher. We were talking about motherhood and I made the comment, "being a mom is so easy." She said, "You probably just have a really easy baby." Which got me thinking, I do have an easy baby. Taking care of Ryan has always been easy. My pregnancy was amazing, no morning sickness, no stretch marks. My labor/delivery went pretty good too. Sure- I chose to get induced on my due date. I checked in at 7:30am and had a baby in my arms in 9.5 hours. My recovery from delivery sucked. But that's not Ryan's fault. :) He has always nursed really well. Always slept at night & only woke up for a feeding. No 3AM playtimes. Was sleeping through the night since he was 3.5 months old. He behaves when we go shopping. Yes- we have rough days- but they are few and far in between.
Yesterday I took him shopping and I held him the whole time & he just hung out with me. Looking around.
Makes me a little nervous for my second baby.
I have had the same experience! What makes it worse is that people TELL me to be prepared for the second one! Great! Can't wait! ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't really believe it but if it were to be true, I'm defintely glad I had a hard baby first and got it out of the way!
