Isaac and I had our last lactation appointment on Monday morning. He weighed in at 7 lbs, 10 oz. He’s doing well and we’ve “graduated” to not needing to pump or supplement. The next hurdle will be getting him to space out his feedings a little more. He nurses about 10 times a day. I would love it if he would give me a good 3 hours between eating each time.
We spent Saturday and Sunday in Cottage Grove. It was Brian’s birthday. We celebrated on Sunday.Dad grilled and we had hamburgers for lunch. Then it was cheesecake for Brian’s “cake”. We also got to meet Brian’s friend, Missy.
Audrey has become more whiney lately. I think the days of 3 hours afternoon naps are coming to an end. She’s taking a really long time to fall asleep at night now. We’ll have to tweak her schedule to see what works. She’s ready for us to work on potty training too. I’m just not sure how to make it work with a newborn.
I’m feeling very tired and a bit overwhelmed with not being able to get the house clean or accomplish much. I’m also grumpy because my right ear is plugged and I can’t hear anything. I know it sounds silly, but not being able to hear is seriously contributing to my feeling depressed. I’ve also been looking at pictures from this weekend and I’m not happy with my post-partum body. I’ve lost 16 pounds. I have another 16 pounds to go to reach my prepregnancy weight. 15 more pounds to go after that for my ideal weight.
I need to run. Morning is the easiest time to get anything done since Isaac is more willing to hang out on his own.
