BPAL friends + OB/doc updates
Did any of my BPAL friends get either the 13 oil from April 13th or the Milk Moon update from May's full moon? With baby brain, I didn't get a chance to opt for either, and while the 13 formulation disagrees with my skin chemistry, I'd love to buy the *empty* bottle from someone when they are done just because it's Lenae's birthday. As for Milk Moon, I'm looking for an imp or two decant... I've just about run out of the last version and it's to die for. Just being happy that I can go back to BPAL now... will ask the communities later if no LJ pals got either of these oils. ;-)
Lenae's weight check (4 weeks old) on Monday put her at 8lbs 10oz... nearly a pound over her birth weight now, for a total gain of 2lbs 2oz from her lowest weight. She's doing well with Mommy back at work - hasn't made Daddy sign himself into the looney bin yet. (Mommy, by contrast, went home from work, nursed, and fell asleep on the couch immediately after supper with baby on her chest!)
Had my postpartum exam today. Everything's doing well, and my weight check at the OB office confirmed last Monday's WIC weigh in of being one pound UNDER pre-pregnancy weight - 183 pounds. I'm wearing my pre-pregnancy pants (two pairs of the jeans so far) and it is nice to have *zippers* once again. Now I just have to lose the extra 40-50 pounds I'm carrying... I got the okay to start Aquamoms as a postpartum June 1st.
On breastfeeding, Dr. Chang hesitated just short of a hypoplasia diagnosis for me... said signs are there but he doesn't want to label it. I'm to continue my herbal efforts and the Reglan, and increase my water intake more. But he cautioned that if I have to keep supplementing, it's not failure - not my fault if my body just can't quite make enough milk.
