Thanks. He is about five weeks old and so far we have lucked out with
a medium-low difficulty baby. Which is not to say this is easy for me.
I have so far confirmed absolutely that I do not want to be a SAHM,
which we knew, and I'm the breadwinner anyway. I feel mostly neutral
about early babyhood, with a few scattered moments of the sublime, and
slightly more scattered moments of real struggle, mostly of the 'omg I
need you to not be touching me now I can't for just fifteen minutes
please.' Made more difficult by the fact that he is a marathon
breastfeeder, god help me.
This book does address that phenomenon, btw, of higher highs and lower lows.
