Last week, my midwife surprised me by assuring me that the first two weeks are the most difficult. A friend intriguing me by promising that "it gets better and better."
I'm only 2 weeks in, but I'm having a grand time.I can see why people like the newborn stage. Milk-drunk babies are so fragile and cuddly, and when they smile, it's rare, but devastatingly sweet. Some things are very easy, because they can't disagree or they just don't have an opinion yet. Diapers are not nearly as revolting as they will become, and at this age, they can't get kick free and try to leap off the changing table. I'm looking forward to what is to come, of course. I will be thrilled to have a greater understanding/communicative link with this little guy. I will delight in teaching him and watching him discover the world for himself.
What have your favourite/least favourite stages been?
