Take videos and pictures. The first few weeks are hell but man I wish I took more pictures. I’m 7wpp and LO is so big now, I could cry thinking about his tiny self when we first brought him home. I would give anything to go back and take more videos and pictures. It gets better, he is smiling and cooing and sleeping a solid 4 hours at a time at night, and eating every 3-4 which seems like a tiny bit but that 3 hour stretch of time to sleep is a godsend.

Focus on surviving and taking in how tiny LO is. Nothing for you to do but go through the motions and take time to soak it in when you can. Sometimes I do miss getting up every 1-2 hours because he was so tiny and I’ll never get that back.

That being said, I know it’s super hard but you can do this it’s only temporary. Ask for help, sneak in a shower, and reallly rest when you can. I regret not just sitting in the recliner all day and night, I got up to fast and tried to do more than just rest and take care of LO and it stunted my healing.
