Busy busy busy

As you might have guessed, I’m extremely busy visiting C and our new son at the hospital all day long. C has to stay there with the kid, since he is under observation. Nothing serious, just newborn stuff. If everything works out well, they’ll be home tomorrow, Monday. You never know, since I’ve heard that story from the hospital staff the last 2 days. They are pretty thorough and I have to say that I respect that. So even if we have to stay some days longer, it’s better than going home too early.
Meanwhile my time goes with driving to the hospital in the morning and home again in the evening (today from 8.00 am to 11.00 pm). I drop out to find some food from time to time, but other than my time goes with running errands for C, talk about the baby and baby related stuff and of course help out with diaper changing and you name it. Nothing I can’t do so far except feed the little bugger directly from the source, which turned out to be an issue this evening keeping me there 2 hours late, while we tried our best to suit him. Only to find out that he might be full, but not exactly happy with me trying to comfort him so C could catch an hour. So I had to cave and put him back to C’s “food storages” and he finally calmed down.
Btw, if you wonder it hurts like hell to breastfeed. No, I haven’t tried myself, but it doesn’t take a genius to learn that from watching and listening to C. It’s extremely painful and I can vouch that C is not a crybaby about it. No gory details, but I could easily bring some. I’ve been eavesdropping near other women there, and I haven’t heard one not say: OMFG or God damn!
Uhm… Better split. Time to get some sleep so I can get back to business tomorrow.
Ps.: And – yes – there will be pictures, when I get around to it.
