worthy expectations

I've always wanted to be a mom. I had high expectations. Seriously high. These past two weeks have exceeded my expectations in every possible way. I love him more than I expected. Aiden is worth every stitch, every heavy eyelid, every bit of uncomfortable I've experienced in the past few weeks. I did not expect that when I came home from the hospital my body would still be completely out of wack. Thanks to peri bottles, sitz baths, and witch hazel I'm getting back to normal. I still have an outie belly button, but the baby fort has almost deflated completely. For the first few days, I thought that Aiden was keeping his vacation home in tact in case he wanted to go back in to take a break from all the cuddling. It was either that or the doctor hadn't delivered his twin yet. There is a lot you don't hear about when it comes to "the after labor", but it's worth it.
