David Jonathan has arrived!

I know that some people have been curious about how the labor and delivery and such went. Answering the same questions or explaining the same thing over and over is starting to get annoying. So, I'm going to type it all up and just refer people here. :-D

It's not exactly abnormal to feel disconnected, heh. If you're thinking that talking to a doctor or a therapist is useful though, then by all means - do it. And it's early days yet - you're still full of crazyperson hormones and leaking and all of that jazz, and all the kid does is sleep and eat and cry. But y'know.. that cheerfully trite 'It'll get better!' is apt, but damnit, not useful to hear.

Lots of love. :)

To be honest, I don't really think talking to someone would help but at the same time, I don't like the way I'm feeling (or not feeling as the case may be) towards David. I am hoping it's just my hormones being all wonky and the fact that someone is crying in need for me all the time making me not feel like myself and it'll pass soon enough. If this apathy continues for too long though then I'll seek out some sort of assistance. Eventually Brad has to go back to work and that thought terrifies me. In my current state I'd be incapable of caring for David alone. I just keep thinking 'One day at a time' and 'This too shall pass'. I don't completely believe it at the moment but I figure maybe if I keep reciting it I'll start to ;)

Oh man, part of me mega-wanted to punch Leah in the face that first week or two. Even my mother-in-law admits she thought about throwing her two out the window a few times; it's seriously normal. Hell, I'm about as fond of her as I can be of anyone now, and I still have times I'd just love to turn around and scream louder than she can. It won't serve any purpose, and'll only set her off if I did, but that doesn't mean that I have some magical ability out of the fucking blue to accept all the nuisance that she's brought into mine Neil's life. Wha? He does a LOT with her to keep my crazy ass sane. *cough*

But yeah, that's going to be a good attitude. Before you know it, he'll actually be interesting! *hugs*
