he smiled! and 6w update...mostly about me.
ocean smiled at us (officially) for the first time on friday!
yayy!
things have been going really well, still. he's eating up a storm and sleeping a great deal as well. nighttimes are still pretty easy, and i keep waiting for that shoe to drop and to be kept up *really late* but if he does end up fussy and awake, its almost always over by 3am...and then of course he sleeps in until 11...so whatevs.
everyone that sees him says hes big for his age...not sure what that means, but i suppose its a good thing. i do know that i finally weighed him naked (with me on the scale and then me w/o him...and then subtract) and he's a good 10 lbs, which is up almost 3lbs in 6w. not sure if that is normal or what...but apparently he's big. haha.
we still have to get his birth certificate since he was born at home...have an appt. in a few weeks at the hall of records. and this wednesday is our 6 week check up with the midwife. im happy to report that ive lost all but 5 of my pregnancy pounds. and i plan to be completely back to normal by my birthday (10/17). i am wearing my biggest pair of pre-pregnancy jeans...my maternity jeans were just all torn up at the waist band and i figured wearing something that actually felt tight on my hips would help with the weight loss. we got our stroller (britax vigour!) so im back to walking. i did a little too much last week and my bleeding returned so im back to taking it easy...damn it.
life is crazy hectic. with an eleven year old daughter just hitting pre-puberty and starting middle school, its the worst time for me to start paying less attention to her...so im really going back and forth between the baby and her and the hubs and all of my daily tasks. i thank GOD that i dont have to juggle a job as well considering im also taking a few online college courses and trying to stay showered and fed in the meantime...ive had a few hormonal outbursts as a result of feeling just totally spread thin. i dont know how people with more than two kids do it...but i guess i'll figure that out in a year or so as we've already talked about having another child after ocean...
anyways, on to the pictures. i know you ladies can relate to feeling as crazy as i do. thanks for reading...
