I'd forgotten

How sticky meconium is. That they pee everytime you take a diaper off them. How sensitive their skin is. That nursing hurts in the beginning. How big my boobs can get. How much the early nursing cramps my uterus (actually, that was just worse this time). About the nursing thirst. About the little grunts they make. How they curl up around your torso when they're nursing. How wonderful the tops of their heads smell. How tiny their hips are. How much they sleep at the start.

It's amazing what you forget, isn't it? Thanks for the reminder.

I was wondering when you were going to have the second, last time I heard you were in the hospital. Well congrats and I am around the corner if you need me to change some stinky diapers.

You know what else I'd forgotten about? The lack of balance all of a sudden.

Wow. I go away for a few weeks and all sorts of stuff goes down. Congratulations to both of you, and I think you did a great job on the names. No child could even hope to have more awesome parents, so relax, try to get some sleep, and enjoy it.

P.S. I'd never heard of meconium, before. All I can say is don't look it up on wikipedia. They have pictures.

Hey Karra! How are things? And Cormac, ya. It's not pretty.
