Congratulations!!
I agree - I found it was easier to deal with having no hair to deal with because I didn't feel as sticky and wet, therefore, didn't have that desperation for a shower when I got caught up in the feeding and settling.
Have fun with your new one
That is exactly how I felt! Personal preference but I believe it made a difference to how comfortable I felt each day.

Having a wonderful time being a mum although Izzy is a bit of a night owl. Sleep deprivation is hell but so worth it
