When Poppy was 1, she was "swimming" in a puddle jumper.  I never let her out of arm's reach, of course, but it was great to be able to get in the water with my almost 3-year old knowing my just-turned-1 year old was safe but I...

I was definitely afraid I'd have a feeling of "bottoming out" down there but so far so good!   I also gained about 50lbs but I doubt I'll really lose any of it soon.  My cravings are HORRIBLE while BFing so I've never been...

Is anyone back to working out yet?  I jogged my first postpartum mile today and it was fantastic!  It was wonderful not to have to deal with BH contractions or needing to pee while I was out there on the road.  I cut,...

Sorry it's so ridiculously long, especially considering how fast the actual birth went.  Guess I got kinda wordy! My due date (Thursday, May 17th) came and went, as usual.  I walked a 5k race that Saturday and just tried to...

I think I let them go past 2 hours once in a 24 hour period, not to exceed 4 hours.  Otherwise I was pretty adamant about offering the boob every 2 hours around the clock for the first 2-3 weeks, then I let up a little bit....
