Early days

I really have been lagging on the blogging front. I also have been lagging on other things, among them brushing my teeth, doing my hair, cutting my nails, talking to people, eating, etc. The good news is that my purely breastfed baby has gained about a pound a week (OK, I am exaggerating) but he is positively huge and doing very well. My face is about 70% recovered - when I can smile properly again I might even post a picture of myself. This has been a real character-building experience.

Can anyone tell me how to break the habit of sleeping with the baby and feeding on demand? I kind of enjoy this but I can see how it could bite me in the proverbial ass in months to come.

More delightful postings to come, documenting my amazing birth experience and first days home.
