Week 2

My lil baby is 2 weeks old already! She changes every day. It's pretty amazing how fast babies grow. So what's new in the past week?

Breastfeeding has gotten alot easier. She prefers one side over the other though and that boob is about twice the size of the other one. I'm trying to get her to even them out. haha

She has started having some tummy troubles. She has thrown up a few times and sometimes after she eats she balls her fists up and pulls her knees to her chest. I can tell she is in alot of pain. I feel so helpless. It is the worst feeling in the world. She cries and looks at me with the saddest eyes. I've tried gripe water and gas drops. My dr. told me to eliminate dairy...so Im basically a vegan right now. I've just started the diet change so we'll see if it helps. Poor sweet baby girl.

She eats exactly every two hours at night. You can set a clock by her! I'm happy to report that she has gained another pound. She now weighs 8 lbs 2 oz and her newborn onesies are too tight.

How's mama? Well, besides my heart being ripped out when she is in pain for hours on end...I'm doing well. It really makes me treasure the time she is okay. Right now she is snoozing away in her swing and I got to wash my hair for the first time in a week (gross...I know). I'm tired but its a manageable tiredness. We aren't doing much and we are definitely not trying to leave the house with this flu epidemic going around so life is pretty easy.

B goes back to work tomorrow though and I am feeling a little anxious about that. He has been doing everything for us! He cooks, cleans, grocery shops, chauffers...it has been so great. I'm really nervous about the first time I have to leave the house with Baby A. Im doing my best to ensure we won't have to! :)

Oh and yesterday I weighed myself at our Ped's office...I know I said I wouldn't but I was just curious. Here are the stats:
Pre-preg: 115 lbs
Delivery Day: 160 lbs
2 Weeks PP: 137 lbs

So that's -23 lbs down and 22 left to go! I think that's reasonable. I went for two walks last week. Not to try to exercise because I walked slower than a snail..but mainly to get out of the house. It felt great! It's so funny because right after I gave birth I would swear I had a 6-pack! I felt light as air after she was out..then you look in a mirror or try to squeeze into some old clothes. HA! I am most definitely still needing to wear maternity clothes. Though really all I wear right now is pajama pants and a nursing bra. I have forgotten what a shirt is...

Okay, this post seems totally all over the place and I do apologize. Please keep in mind that I haven't slept more than 90 mins at a time in weeks! :)
