|check up|
so, she is a monster baby! her one month check-up (5 weeks old) and she is 12 lb 11 oz! no wonder she has been exploding through her newborn diapers! too bad we have nearly a whole case left. i'm going to make a diaper cake and give all the leftover diapers to a friend who is expecting. hopefully, she will finish her size 2 diapers before she outgrows them.
the weather has turned really nice -maybe a bit chilly, even. i love autumn.
last night, i had my first real outing without the baby. i mean, i've been going to pick up our csa veggies every week, but that's not really much of an outing. last night, i pumped, left dad with a bottle, and went shopping! we needed a few baby things and some more thank you notes. i thought there would be time to get some new shoes (since my feet have gone up a size!), but that will have to wait for another day.
it was weird. i kept thinking about her and feeling a little lost.
i bought a pair of "fat jeans" last night. i don't want to buy too many clothes right now, since i probably won't be wearing them for very long. but the weight loss has slowed down, so i figured that i would need something that i could hang out in that's not maternity pants! the first month, the weight just melted off. at 4 weeks, i'd lost 30 pounds. and that's with absolutely no exercise -just sitting around breast feeding all day, and napping. next week i should be good to start a work-out routine.
i've got a little bit to go still before i will be fitting into my good clothes, but i think that by thanksgiving, i should be back in shape. hopefully sooner. matt says that her weight gain must have something to do with my weight loss. i'm sure he is right. my fat is transforming into extra chins for her. hopefully, she will put those chins to good use. i don't want to end up on montel or oprah with an 80 pound 3 year old!
anyway, i think getting out of the house was good for me. she is settling in, and although things still continue to change every day, i think we're getting the hang of it. we're reading books about sleep, now. babywise. baby whisperer. healthy sleep habits, happy child. etc. so much reading, but hard to implement. babies do their own thing.
she's sleeping up to 6 hrs at night, now. hopefully she will stretch that out to 8 hours for me, soon.
