Life As A New Mommy

If I had thought that being a mommy to a new baby was going to be easy, then I was terribly wrong. I think that I had been a little overconfident in the beginning because I had all the other kids around, but they were easy when it came to the baby.
Brayden, being a newborn, needed to sleep a lot, but he also needed to be fed every two hours or so. I was also breastfeeding him, which meant that I was the one feeding him most of the time. I was being taught how to pump my milk after the first few days as well.
The benefit to me pumping my milk for Brayden was that Artem, Mom, Chay, Gabby, Aunt Criztie, Dad, Aries, and whoever else was helping could feed the baby. There was a lot of help for us though, and that was a good thing as well. Everyone wanted to feed and hold him and help me with stuff. It was honestly a little overwhelming with how much people were trying to help out.
