Today was a big day. Not only is my boy 2 weeks old today, but he had his circumcision today. I think it was harder on Mom than it was on him.
Toren has been a joy! He nurses very well even though he tends to cluster feed midday. He sleeps well at night only waking twice for a diaper change and a feeding.
We tackled our first road trip to my sister's town for a friend's wedding (about a 2.5 hour drive). We had to stop once on the way there to feed and change the little man, but he slept both ways pretty much the total travel time. He even slept well in a strange location.
I'm loving being a Momma. I've lost all 16 pounds I gained with my pregnancy and about 4 more on top of that. I can't brag too much as Toren was over 9lbs at birth - more than half of the weight. But I'm feeling good. My incision is healing nicely, I'm not taking anymore pain meds outside of the ibuprofen which helps with inflammation and swelling.
All in all, I feel extremely blessed things are going as well as they are and that I'm enjoying my little man so much. :)
