This is the first Sunday of Seamus' life.
Both mama and papa are sleeping with baby for the moment.
Nursing... a continuing work in progress.
Greta is a very patient and determined mom.
She WILL get this... she IS already.
I noted to Jim that Seamus looks like Robert Deniro in the movie Once Upon A Time in America that very last scene in the opium den after he (Seamus) has had his belly full of breast milk, gently laying against mama's soft breasts.
Papa got a record 3.5 consecutive hours of sleep last night.
Nana and mama tended to baby's needs.
Midwife, Karen, came and checked out Mama and baby yesterday.
Both are in good shape.
This coming week, Seamus will meet his pediatrician for his first visit.
What i'd like you to know
- I am NanaBanana
- of Mother Earth
- or ...Stella or ...Towanda or ...Sandy. That's me... a multifaceted work in progress. Most days I say to myself... "Pull your socks up baby, saddle up, it's going to be a gloriously bumpy and joyful ride!"

Snuggly days after the birth - yes, sleepless too! But, it sounds like you are all finding a way to ward off massive sleep deprivation. Essential. And you being there Sand - such a gift - beyond words. I like that you will stay for as long as you are needed. That thought is very snuggly. Again, sending you love, Lizzie
How lucky you ALL are!!!
Sigh,
Love,
Auntie Teri
PS - when Wes was Seamus's age and would "sign off" at the end of a feeding, he'd smack his little lips and sigh with such bliss that I was compelled to exclaim, "I've never made a man so happy...not even yo' Daddy!"
