Utt at almost 3 weeks old

Since morning, little man seems to be having buffet brekkie and brunch from Mama's boobies. Finally at 11.30, he is starting to drift off to Lala land, then got up 15 minutes later asking for more. This sequence went on till 2pm, when finally little man dozed off.

Here is a picture of Utt still in the comfort of Mama's boobies, half asleep and after asking for more.

 

Looking after little man has been an amazingly tiring and tedious journey so far. It has been a round the clock routine of diaper change, breastfeeding, milking myself, etc. I am not going to pretend to love this part of motherhood because I doubt anyone sane enough will and I hope aloud that the clock will tick faster each day and things will be easier as little man gets more predictable.

The birth story (the fear of pain and the pain itself) does seem incredibly unworthy of special mention when compared to true motherhood.

@ 38 weeks and 3 days: I thought he would be here

@ 38 weeks and 2 days

 

 

Went to the gynae (who was all ready to get me induced) this morning. Spoke to her and tell her that Mama's preferred  opt is to still let Utt arrive naturally (after a week, I don't find any good reason to get him induced). Doc welcomed my opt but went on to say that "Baby's ready, he can wait till Mama is". Oh well.

Doc would be out of town from 12th and we have come to the decision that we'll wait till 10th for Utt to arrive naturally, after which induction will happen so that my gynae who I have been seeing for the past 7-8 months, will be carrying out the delivery and post-natal care. That is more like it, at least I see a need for induction to be done. 

And now, the waiting game continues. Gonggong is here and so is Popo, but stay in there till as long as you please (for now)! See you soon Utt! Very soon... very soon.
