After the first week I felt like I was recovering well. I started to get a handle on the baby duties and felt as though things were moving well. My milk came in on the Thursday after DJ was born. My boobs felt hot and I felt like I had a light fever. They got a little bigger, but mostly just filled in upwards. The bra's I'd bought still fit alright, except the 40D nursing bra I got at walmart. That was suddenly way too small.
There is some serious nipple tenderness but it's livable at this point. DJ seems to be filling out nicely. He never seemed to go through that shriveled up prune phase that most babies endure. He loves to eat and does regularly. He also likes to be fed promptly. He stares wided eyed at everything. Braden and I love him dearly.
He sleeps for 2 hours at a stretch at night and I feel like I can handle having this much sleep. He likes to sleep in the mornings, so I get time to sleep in with B, which is a great bonus. It's hard work but it's so much fun to hold him and look at him.
