Stretch Marks: Remember that tiny single one I found on the bottom of my belly? In the final days of my pregnancy it brought friends to the party. I have two small patches of short stretch marks on the bottom of my belly and three around my belly button. Oh well.
Sleep: Liam sleeps 3 hour stretches at night (and sometimes during the day) so I get some sleep at night. I've learned I can do anything with 3 hours sleep and one hand! :)
Best Moment this week: All of the moments are pretty sweet, Liam is a great baby and even when he's fussy he's not that fussy. I love when he smiles, even if they aren't "real" smiles yet.
Food: Yum. I love food. Since I'm home I'm eating pretty healthy. And let's face it, it's way too much work to load up Liam to run and get fast food so I eat a lot of yogurt and granola, fruit, trail mix, string cheese and try to make dinner most nights.
Clothes: I'm still wearing my maternity pants, mostly out of fear of trying to smoosh myself into my pre-preg pants. I can wear my pre-preg shirts just not the smallest ones.
Labor signs: Almost all signs of labor are gone, meaning I'm mostly healed "down there". I won't lie to you, I'm still bleeding on and off but I'm free of pain (from my internal tear, ouch).
Belly Button: Looks somewhat like it did before. I still have the line running from my breast to my southern region as well.
What I miss: Not having people asking about breastfeeding, seriously everyone is interested and has opinions....even men! Yikes! So if I answer you in a vague manner it means stop asking!
What I’m looking forward too: The next ten minutes, I so love the time with him, everything is special!
Weekly Wisdom: Don't set yourself up for disappointment. I went into my labor with a "whatever happens, happens" attitude and I have no regrets from it even though it was so different than I hoped it would be. Because I didn't have my heart set on things going on specific way I was able to accept how it went. I have the same attitude about breastfeeding, I'll do it as long as I can and be ok with it. There is no use in setting yourself up for disappointment then having to mourn the loss of your high hopes. :)
Weekly WTF: None...yet...this week anyway! :)
Nesting: Being home all day I do nest, sort of. I try to nap when Liam naps but I often find myself doing chores (dishes, laundry etc), half the reason is feeling productive the other half is so that V can half all the daddy love time possible.
Milestones: Liam is three weeks old and I'm starting to understand his schedule, not too bad!
Coming soon: newborn pics!
