Three weeks of Motherhood

For three weeks and one day I have enjoyed motherhood now already. The change from being a single with a growing belly to being a mom with a amazing baby is also the main reason why I have admittingly slacked off on updating this blog. To be fair to myself, I have tried to update the blog twice: upon completing the first week of motherhood, and upon completing the second week of motherhood. Unfortunately, I have never gone farther than writing down the headings "one week of motherhood" and "two weeks of motherhood". Assuming that all of you know the basics of mathematic, I have decided not to post these heading-only updates to remind you of how long I have been living with Mia.

So now it's three weeks, and I am finally on the right track to go beyond the title of a new posting.
But not knowing how long Mia will continue to curl herself peacefully into her dads arms (who has come all the way from Afghanistan to do exactly that: let Mia curl herself into his arms), I will keep this post rather short and give you a brief balance of the past three weeks...

• average night/day hours Mia sleeps: 18
• average night/day hours I sleep: 5
• average number of hours I spend breastfeeding Mia: 5
• amount of weight Mia has already gained: 800 gram
• amount of kg I have lost since the delivery: 10
• Mias average daily diaper consumption: 8
• number of smiles Mia has given me so far: 3
• number of smiles I have given Mia: uncountable
• number of books I have managed to read since Mia's birth: 2
• number of facial expressions Mia is alraedy able to make: uncountable. She basically presents a different expression every time I am looking at her
• number of times I have taken Mia on a walk (or rather push as Mia is obviously still enjoying such trips while lying horizontally in a babystroller) through the forest: 3
• number of times my mum passes by my flat each day to "have a look at Mia": I stopped counting.

To be continued... more insights on how it is to suddenly have a baby to take care off will follow...
