Thankyou all *so* much for all your encouragement, reading your sweet comments brought tears to my eyes. He is such a good baby, really he is. He very rarely fusses at all. He only cries when his diaper is wet and it’s not his fault that his day is backwards. The struggle that I’m having is that although the birth bit went really well (depite the fact that I had back labour, I managed to do the whole thing completely drug-free, and only pushed for 10 minutes) I had a couple of complications afterwards from which I am still recovering. Just as one problem corrects itself, another thing goes wrong with me and I end up feeling sorry for myself all over again. It’s horrible.
But the other day my mummy and daddy flew out from England to be here and look after me, and that makes me feel a lot better. And Baby Peach is loving all the extra cuddle time. And extra pairs of hands means that I can sneak off for a little nap time in the afternoon.

i am glad your parents are over. the support and the confort will help you, and while little Oliver meets his grandparents and fills his ears with british accents, you can take care of yourself, sleep and rest.
you know i have no idea what i’m talking about just yet, but i do believe it will get better. just like pregnancy, you read, you hear, people tell you what to expect, but you don’t know nothing until you just have to face it…
take care of yourself !!!

I really hope your body returns to its normal self soon. Giving birth is a *huge* thing! So glad you have your mommy and daddy there!!
That little fella is a complete sweetie!!!

Aww, Nin. Be gentle with yourself and know that what you are going through is perfectly normal and expected. It is a tough, tough thing to have a baby, and the body’s responsibilities can seem overwhelming. Take it one day at a time, and soon the fog will lift and you will start to feel like your old self again (plus one cute new friend!).
Hang in there,and celebrate the extra hands right now!

Nin- I have not had a chance to properly congratulate you on this beautiful, beautiful boy! He is a total heartbreaker for sure. So happy for you. One you get through the first hard weeks, it will be much better. OXOX

Hello!
Hope you are having a good day. I think it’s just normal to feel a bit overwhelmed at first (I have no baby but I remember well my school best friend’s first few days of Motherhood). I really hope you are sneaking in several little mini soul-replenishing treats for yourself too. I do love the laid-back expression and of your peachy, scrumptious child!

My daughter brought her baby over for Father’s Day and we all ate together. Babies are so adorable. Every little smile or grimace or diaper noise even is something to ooh and ahh over. Grandparenting is the greatest!

Awww, what a sweet picture! I am so thrilled for you. I hope that everything clears up. Thank goodness for Grandparents, eh? That will surely help you out a lot. You’ll be just fine in no time.

Nin, he is absolutely gorgeous and your pictures of him are the best. I’m glad your parents are with you now to help out.
I hope your healing continues to improve. Wishing you all the best. xxx

Nin -
Oliver is just perfect.
i’m so glad your parents are there and you’re letting them help so you can get some sleep. i know it seems like a long, uphill road, but your body is sorting itself out one bit at a time, and it will get better, i promise.
i had broken ribs during labor (Wee One had her rear end up against them, and i didn’t feel the crack because of the epidural) and i didn’t figure out why my side hurt until 2 days after i got back from the hospital. Crazy.
But just as your body made this wonderful baby, it will heal itself with time and rest. baby steps! xoxoxo

Baby Peach is adorable!! I’m sorry your body isn’t recovering quickly. I hope you are feeling better soon. Thinking of you!

Oh Nin, it is *so* not easy being a new mom and such a tremendous adjustment in many ways. It can seem especially overwhelming when you add discomfort/pain, and fatigue on top of your numerous new responsibilities. Take some time for yourself. Take your warm baths. Drink your tea. Eat your cake. Delegate chores… every one of them! If you can sneak in some cat naps, take advantage of them (I didn’t do this so much).
Oliver is such a handsome little boy. I know you must have fallen in love with that sweet lil’ face at least a million times already.
*hugs* to you dear. And you know, whenever you are up for a ‘Blythe and Baby’ meet just say the word. =)
