Sawa is one week old!

Sawa’s first week was pretty standard for Mum and baby. Ayako was in considerable pain and having trouble peeing. Sawa was a bit dopey and hard to rouse at first, and then frequently irate at the breast because colostrum, of which there was lots, didn’t flow fast enough for her liking. These problems resolved fairly quickly, but even at their worst, we were a bit surprised by how little we resented our efforts to bring her into the world. She’s a charmer. More photos illustrating her charmingness are here.
