We had our baby and he's 5 weeks old now. Very adorable and a fairly easy going kid - as newborns go anyway.
That doesnt mean it hasn't been a challenge. Kid is up 3 times a night for feeds - but at least is somewhat consistent with the times he wakes for feeds.
My folks visited from my home country last week, which was nice. Tho I'm glad it was just a week because disrupting babys feeding and naps for outings was a bit wearing. My parents did help around the home lots tho.
I go back to work next week. Its insane that nobody on either side of US politics doesnt want to discuss extending maternity leave. 6 weeks absolutely isn't enough. (I already used up FMLA for pregnancy appointments)
I'm nervous about returning to work and being able to focus. But I guess we'll see how things go.
