I'll feel slightly irritated when I feel her stirring in the middle of the night, but the second I see her looking back at me with those adorable eyes, the oxytocin hits me and I'm all "Nevermind, I love you so hard and I'm totally ok with waking up at 4:00am to change your poop filled diaper and nurse you until you fall back asleep."
She's reallllllllllly good at cuddles.
And hilarious faces.
I'm feeling almost fully recovered from birthing a small human, we're both getting better and better at breastfeeding, and I'm not nearly as sleep deprived as I thought I would be. She demands to nurse every three hours or so, but I just keep going back to sleep with her until I feel fully rested. Sometimes it results in us getting out of bed at 2:00pm, but hey, whatevs.
I'm loving my new role as her mother and I'm so stoked to watch her change and grow.

YES! She is beautiful and it sounds like you're doing great. I was the same way when Clara was a newborn... I'd just sleep until I was rested and sometimes that meant being in bed until the afternoon! If it works, keep doing it!
