6 weeks old cheeku.. :)

Weeks just fly away when you are the mother of a new baby. Cheeku is 6 weeks old now and it still seems a yesterday's affair (of giving birth). Life changes completely once you are a mum. You start having a feeling of completion in yourself.You walk around in a fog and this is the kind of thing you're thinking:

• My baby is the cutest and most beautiful baby EVER! It's not even fair for all the other babies!

• What was I looking for again?

• Look at those cheeks! "Yes you my a cute *chocolate pastry*!"

• What day are we? (or what time is it?)

• Did I brush my teeth this morning?

• Maybe I can snooze for a few minutes before it's tomorrow...

• Did that relative wash their hands before touching the baby?

• When's the last time I took a shower and what the ____ is up with my hair?

• *looking at baby* Could I be feeling any more love right now?

:)) well yes this is so true that this 4 kg kid has made everyone dance like this ;) I am so exhausted (Ok ok Even Deepak and mummy too are.. ;)). I never knew I could be so physically, emotionally, and mentally drained. I read somewhere that Cheeku is operating mostly on instinct right now, but no one told me that I too would be reduced to little more than instinct in the first few days ;). I have only a vague concept of night and day right now - I'm dozing in little chunks between feedings (so if any of this post doesn't make sense, you know why). Cheeku makes us awake the whole night and cries cries and cries...(all cries lead to nursing him only)

I feel like I'll never have the energy to even crawl out of bed and get dressed! How long until I feel like myself again?
