Hey mamas! I figured we could do a weekly thread, since the other thread is getting long! How are we all doing?
Adam is 7 weeks old tomorrow, which is CRAZY to me!
He is the sweetest little boy I have ever met (and not to mention the cutest) but I am definitely biased.
I had my 6 week postpartum appointment a few days ago, and I think I am decided on the paragard for birth control. I will probably get that inserted in a few weeks. I don't want anything hormonal, because of nursing. so that is my best option. I get pregnant *really* easily (and even while using birth control 100%) so its time for a change. Hopefully this works.
I started exercising about 2 weeks ago, and I am officially down 32lbs from delivery day. I gained way too much weight during the pregnancy- and had 20lbs to lose beforehand though, so unfortunately I still have about 40lbs to go.
Adam is doing great. He is starting to be more awake and alert. He started smiling, and will smile at this picture of his sister hanging on the wall next to our "nursing chair". I'm finally not so engorged anymore, which is nice. I am now only pumping 5oz at a time for relief instead of 15, so that is a good sign! I wish he would figure out how to nurse lying down though. I really dont like having to sit up in bed in the middle of the night, but what can ya do. I can set it up for him, but once he unlatches because of forceful letdown, its all over. He can't figure out how to get back on. Oh well. Hopefully soon.
I am basically back to my normal pre-pregnancy self, which is so nice. I am loving having a newborn in the house again, I love the snuggles. My youngest dd is having a bit of a harder time adjusting, and she is testing my patience, but she is only just barely 2, so it is to be expected.
Anyway, I will hopefully be able to keep up with this thread better in the future. I think I only posted a few times to the last one.
