Guess which baby didn't cry during her morning feeding, didn't cry during her diaper change, didn't cry during her sponge bath, didn't cry when I dried her off, didn't cry when I changed her diaper again, didn't cry when I dressed her, and didn't cry when I put her to sleep.
Guess who found time to eat breakfast, take a shower, shave her legs, put on makeup, and get herself and her baby dressed in silence without waking her sleeping husband in their tiny studio.
Guess who weighs less than her pre-pregnancy weight.
We are champs.
P.S. Have you guys seen this?

Postnatal
It seems my entire apartment is covered in breast milk
Breast feeding is the most consistent and proud cooking I've ever done. While it is still challenging, it is pretty amazing and rewarding. Plus I love her breathing and swallowing sounds and that quiet alone time we have together where she is close and can smell me and I can just adore her.
During labor I thought about how much I wasn't ready for a baby and kept thinking I didn't want one. This beautiful girl came to me and I fell in love hard and quickly and overwhelmingly. My tiny Regina.
4 hours of sleep has never felt so refreshing
There is something so sweet and precious about hearing others call your baby by name
I'm glad I postponed my PhD so I don't have to sacrifice one second of this magical time with this gorgeous child
My tummy has gotten much smaller much more quickly than I anticipated
I feel so thin, while loosey goosey
I love laying and sleeping on my back again
I love to pee every once in a while (rather than every 20 minutes - not an exaggeration)
