I am pretty lucky to be one of those people who can survive on very little sleep. When people were all "But justonemore, those sleepless nights!" I kind of tuned them out.
Don't get me wrong. It's a SLOG, especially if you're breastfeeding. Nutmeg is still eating every 2-3 hours, though she'll give me an occasional 3 hour stretch of sleep at night. But aside from a few one off nights of discomfort, she doesn't appear to be the colicky disaster her sister was - and I say this out of love and utter sympathy for my first daughter, who Just. Couldn't. Cope.
Nutmeg is particularly cuddly, also a change for me. In the million years of infertility after Niblet was born, I never imagined holding a snuggly baby who would enjoy burrowing into me the way Nutmeg does. Niblet had to be swaddled within an inch of her life (we called it the "angry swaddle" in our house), and in constant motion. Nutmeg thoroughly enjoys being worn, or rocked in a swing, but is really just a ball of chill. With big soulful eyes and multiple chins.
Her resemblance to her dad and sister is pretty striking. Sometimes I will look down at her and notice her nose - the one feature she carries that is very clearly not of either of our gene pools - and wonder if she will dwell on it when she's older (it's lovely for the record). But most of the time I just can't believe we made it here.
My husband’s family has like every nose in existence. None of them look similar. I have my moms, my sister has our dad’s. I still can’t figure out who’s nose G has. Noses are weird.
ReplyDeleteHa! Yeah, today I started staring at Niblet's nose, to see where it was going (face it kid noses are all kinda similar). I don't have either of my parents' noses (and for this I am sort of thankful?) Seriously though, even Viking was like, yeah, Nutmeg totally has the donor's nose. It's all good. She's fucking adorable.
