Of course there's a learning curve, but it's surprisingly gentle. I am always just glad that they don't come out able to move around the house on their own. That helps immensely.<BR/><BR/>You might want to pack something for you to eat, too. I'm not the biggest fan of hospital food and I think my nurses always find my giant horde of granola bars and drinks very funny.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22936647.post-45218296205822293772009-03-12T05:28:00.000-07:002009-03-12T05:28:00.000-07:00So any day now, we can actually say "Mamacita Stro...So any day now, we can actually say "Mamacita Strong"?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing, Nat.

Your last ...Oh Senora, <BR/>I think you are doing great. Your last post actually cracked me up. You don't have anything to worry about - trust me you'll do fine. We (mothers anyway) have been where you are. We read the books, we try to prepare every way possible, but the lovely thing is that mothering is very instinctive. And it feels right very quickly, this new person you become. You will probably be surprised at how quickly you will know your baby. and you have such a great advantage by being a knitter, especially one who can knit lace, you will have the zen patience that nonknitters can't comprehend (Ha!Ha!). I have 2 kids, 9 and 10 years old. I have such fond memories of their first few days, weeks, and months. Even the difficult times have their memories. You get through it all and the reward is great. They will love you in ways you have never been loved before. It's all so very nice. And you will love the way they smell. And they breathe on your neck. And little baby grunts are the best sound. I promise, it's all so very wonderful. I will keep you in my prayers. I so enjoy your blog!! I can't wait to hear "the rest of the story" <BR/>P.s. Yesterday's Word Verification to post a comment was peejugle. Maybe that was a secret message from Zuul!! If I only knew what it meant.AmyThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15440703576379610463noreply@blogger.com
