The grandparents have started to filter out and we’re now down to just my mom (who we’re planning to forcibly detain until Cooper goes to college).
Life is settling down and we’re trying to get into a new normal of sorts. Things are definitely feeling easier. As I sat with him this morning - feeding him a bottle while pumping, I thought back to how impossible all of it felt when I first started; pumping that first week and often getting next to nothing, feeding him his first few bottles with the nurse’s sweet guidance and trying unsuccessfully to hold back my tears of frustration and inadequacy. I know there will be new challenges down the road, and hopefully I can look back and remember how this learning curve went. It gets easier, I just need to have patience and faith.
Coop has two appointments tomorrow that we’re looking forward to - we’re meeting with the pediatrician to check in about his weight and his feeding goals, and then he has an evaluation with the Early Intervention folks to check in on his development. *We* think he’s doing fabulously, but it would be nice to hear that from professionals!
