At the end of every day as I see the sun set through my window, I think: Another day is done without a blog post, again.
The day in the life of a new mom.
Little Ben is a good sleeper (thank you, heaven!) and there’s actually time where I could sit in front of the PC and write something BUT I have chosen the: “sleep while the baby sleeps” route right now because my mother nags me to I really need it to recuperate completely, faster. It helps with milk production as well. If you have/had baby boys, you’ll know about those killer appetite. Baby boys feed more often and demand more, sometimes, more than I could deliver. He keeps me hungry at night and leave me thirsty even if I drink 2 liters of water everyday!
Nevertheless, everything is fine in my end. Baby Ben sometimes get fussy that I have no idea why. Maybe he is just being a normal baby. Thankfully, my mother is here with me to help me around the house. Oh where will I be without her. She is the reason I can sleep while the baby sleeps otherwise, we have all drowned in dirty dishes and pile of laundry.
I agree with your mother. Sleep when the baby sleeps. It is good for your body, spirit and mind.

I’m in agreement with everyone else-You get as much rest as you can and just work on recovering and being with baby B and your family right now.
Don’t stress about blogging because we’re always going to be here when you return 🙂
