I just can't get enough... day 12

Oh man. Baby Jude is just a dream. I never thought I would love being his mother this much. I'm a mother. That's weird. I think every little thing about him is just darling and keep asking people to affirm how cute he is. This is me: "isn't he soooo cute?!!". I say that to everyone all the time, over and over. I can't help it. In fact, today I finally got this little boogie out of his nose that was making him breath like Darth, and I looked at the little boogie and I was struck by how cute his boogies are. Seriously, who am I? Jude's mom, that's who! I don't even mind getting up in the middle of the night because I get to see my baby again. Ask me in a month or so and maybe I'll feel different, but for now, it is our silent little paradise wherein I get to stare at his sweet little visage as he fills up his tummy. Melt my heart.

Now here's the question. Who do you guys think he looks the most like? Moi ou Dan? I keep trying to decide, and although he looks 100% like Jude, where do you see his 'rents in him (throw back to all the Seventeen magazines I used to read as a teenager... ha ha, 'rents'!)? Do share.

And in case you wanted to know, I am doing good. My lady parts are all coming back together again, which I highly disbelieved was possible in the first few days after birth. But it's a miracle! I can walk! Normal! I mean, I'm not singing up for no Breast-Cancer-Find-The-Cure-60-Miles-Of-Walking any day soon, but hark the day may come! I remember one of my nurses at the hospital, Brooke. She told me she had a 9 month old, and I looked at her in disbelief, cocked my head to the side and said "and you can walk normal!". She thought it was funny and assured me that I would too and I just looked at her like she was lying to me. I really liked Brooke.

It's pretty crazy how quick your body bounces back, eh? I swear I peed for 24 hours straight, and kept exclaiming "look, I have ankles again!" How is the nursing going?
