Hi everyone,

I've been a lurker here for quite awhile. I finally join you on the other 
side of the baby bridge. My daughter Ayla arrived Thursday morning. She 
weighed in at 8 pounds, 6 ounces, 20 inches long. She's a little miracle for 
me.

As a blind parent, I'm finding the transition surprisingly easy. We're 
struggling with breastfeeding a bit and I'm more exhausted than I've ever 
been before, but as for diaper changes and all that, so far, so good. We 
already had one blowout and although mom was there to help me through it, it 
wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Gross, but it's different when it's 
your child. In my opinion anyway.

I'm primarily a single parent. There is no father here to help me. That 
situation is a whole other can of worms I'm too exhausted to get into. So 
any and all advice is welcome. I save all posts I find here that I think I 
might need down the line, and I have to say, you guys have some brilliant 
ideas.

Si
