Piper has been a dream. Is this what babies are supposed to be like? She's the total opposite of Finn, who screamed non-stop the first three months of his life. It was a dark time for me -- dealing with colic is hell, topped with no sleep, a difficult time breastfeeding and a total lifestyle change -- it's no wonder I questioned why anyone in their right mind would purposefully have a baby. I spent three and a half years terrified of going through it again.
Don't get me wrong, Finn is amazing and I'm so thankful to have him. He's happy, behaved and outgoing. But he was a hard baby and every day I questioned myself as a parent. It took me at least six months before I started to feel comfortable being a mother.
Karma is a lovely whipped-cream-topped hot chocolate. Karma, luck and experience have given me a smiley, happy, non-colic baby. I'm more relaxed, she's more relaxed. Things are in working order: I feed her, she gains weight. She's hungry, she cries. She's tired, she sleeps.
I'm happy. Tired too.

That is fantastic. I'm feeling the opposite - Ben is so great and easy and I'm wondering if the next will be a hell-raiser.
That's wonderful Kari!
