Baby and Momma!
Day one went fairly well. I got used to having the baby around, got used to having him in my life. My boyfriend, James, helped primarily care for him on this day, taking Giovanni while he needed burping or feeding.
Many family members on both James' side and mine were excited about having a child around for a while, before he cried constantly. They almost seemed amused at my suffering of having to wake up all the time. However, the best reaction I received was from a man who hassled me on the street. He believed I had a real baby and let me go without heckling me any longer. Another was when G began to cry in an elevator and made a woman jump in terror. She looked at me like pregnancy was contagious, with the dirtiest most scared look Ive ever seen on a human being's face.
During the night Giovanni slept well, settling around ten and waking around five in the morning. I was unused to waking up so very early, but toughed it out, as baby and I had to accompany my sister to a Dentist appointment.
