Wonder Baby

I don't want to brag but.....who am I kidding.....I'm going to brag. So not only did I give birth to the most beautiful baby, but he is also so chill (so far anyway). We had another really good night last night. I fed him and he fell asleep around 10pm. I didn't feel tired but I went to bed at 10:30 anyway knowing that he could get hungry again at any time. I woke up at 2:15am and he was still sound asleep! I, however, was in excruciating pain. I must have had 20 pounds of milk on each side. Seriously. That psychotic Angelina Jolie-wanna-be Octuplet mother should save her food stamps and give me a call. I could feed all 8 of her babies AND my own at this rate. I'm dying right now. Anyway, after a quick session with my pump, I woke up Talan and fed him at 2:45. He went right back to sleep and I didn't hear a peep until 6:15am....and at that point I literally only heard a peep. More like a "eh....eh....eh". I couldn't believe it. One feeding between 10 & 6 and I had to wake the kid up for it! I know that this luck may not last but for now I'm enjoying it. I am so much more rested now than I was in those last several weeks of pregnancy. I love my baby boy!!!! Today we went on our second outing. We made a trip to Target after dropping Reese off at school. It was nice to be out of the house but it ended up being short lived on account of the pain. You'd think the fact that they sliced me open across the stomach would hurt worse than anything else but that part isn't bothering me at all. I cannot wait until my body realizes that I don't need what it's producing. I'm hearing that it will be at least another week of this and praying that's the case for me. We have had a fabulous week with our newest addition. On Friday Talan will meet Kevin's parents for the first time. I can't wait for them to get here and to see him in person. I'm telling you, those photos do him no justice at all! I know, I'm a total bragger. I can't help it! I'll try to post new pictures today. Oh, and Mei, that sore on my lip is STILL there. I'm going to have to remain phantom Mom for a while.
