I am so excited about this weekend. Ashley and I are going to Raleigh to spend time with Allison, Matt, Jackie and our new babies, Stella and Scarlett.
They came home from the hospital yesterday and everyone is doing so well! Allison seems really happy. The breastfeeding is going well. And everyone is managing on one and a half hour stretches of sleep at this point. I am contantly amazed at the power of endogenous catecholamines and how they enable our bodies to rise to pretty much whatever task needs to be done.
It's amazing the rush of feelings that her experiences are bringing back. Concrete rememberances of time with our tiny newborns seem to exist in a distant fog at the back of my mind. I was so sleep deprived and hormone-crazy. But I do remember specifically holding their tiny hineys in the crook between my thumb and first finger.
Seems funny to remember that! I guess I was amazed.
I love those naked tiny hineys!
