As I sit here nursing Marlo, I can't help but feel blessed. I'm lucky to have a healthy baby at home with me (versus the nicu). And lucky that I'm able to feed her - although I'm supplementing too. And I'm lucky that she is so aware and alert at a young age of 5 weeks - even though she sometimes doesn't want to nap as a result. Because of all these things, I will never complain of a sore neck or back or hips (from nursing or rocking, or soothing). And I won't complain of the beautiful dark circles under my eyes from lack of sleep. I'll just grab a latte and throw on some concealer and stare at my gorgeous healthy daughter. I am the luckiest woman alive.
