Severin

This little boy gives me so much pleasure--I can't believe that he's here. He has such a sweet demeanor and is so beautiful and full of grace. At this age, of course, he sleeps and feeds most of the time and, in turn, I spend most of my time in a single chair breast feeding or pumping milk while trying to read and reply to work emails when I am able to free one hand. It's both an intense and mellow time--he's next to me most of the time he isn't in my arms, snug in his Fisher Price Rock and Play sleeper that Cindy so kindly bought me (thanks for the suggestion, Quinn--it is a lifesaver). Of course, I'm not so mobile right now either as a result of the emergency c-section, and I am also behind on so many professional responsibilities as a result (like the marketing questionnaire for the book and letters of recommendation for students for grad school which I'll be writing tonight).

Here's another picture of our little boy. As great as his pictures are, they really don't do this gorgeous boy justice.

so sweet and alert. i love the early days when they're always with you. once they become mobile, they often want to go exploring.

he's beautiful, moya! i hope your recovery goes smoothly. i bounced back immediately after leon, but i was down for a full 6 weeks after my easy homebirth. go figure...!

Hi, Moya!

Thrilling to see more pix of your beautiful little guy! Glad to hear that things are going well now that you are all home. Would love to hear more -- would love to talk with you! So great that you've got a nurse for these early weeks. What a gift!

Thinking of you,
Aniko
