8 days old

Mía had her 1 week birthday yesterday. I meant to have her birth story written & published by now, but man, that thing is turning into a novel!

So far everything's going really well. She's feeding well and is a pretty easy baby overall. She already has a little bit of a cold & fever, but she's fine. She's growing & changing every day. I swear she looks different every time I see her! Her eyes are changing from dark blue to lighter blue, and it could be my imagination, but I think her hair is getting a reddish tone to it. When she was born my first thought was that she was Borgar's mini-me, but now I think she's a pretty even blend of the two of us.

Borgar has been beyond amazing! He's head-over-heels in love with his daughter and has taken to being a father like he never did anything else. Mía is of course very dependent on me as she's breastfeeding, and in turn we're both very dependent on Borgar, who has been waiting on us hand & foot with no complaint. I do feel a little guilty that I get so much time with the baby while Borgar runs around taking care of everything else, but I guess that's just the nature of things at this stage.

I'm doing pretty well physically. I wasn't prepared for how rough the postpartum healing would be, but it's getting better. I've been extremely lucky with everything else. My tummy was flat within a couple of days of giving birth and I've already lost all the baby-weight. My boobs are something else! A couple of days ago I would have put Pamela Anderson to shame, but they seem to be going back to normal now…thank god!

That's about all the news for now. I'm going to try to post the birth story within the next few days!
