Currently sitting in a target fitting room nursing...i was trying on nursing bras when I started leaking and DS started screaming..it's my first time NIP if you could call this public.
My two year old decided that when his baby sister was four whole weeks old would be a great time to give up naps. I really need sleep. I go to sleep any time that both of them are asleep but that is a total of six hours a day, broken in to three or four segments. I tried quiet time with him but his version of quiet and mine are very different so I can't sleep. So he is asleep from 9:00 pm to 7:00 am and she is asleep from about 9:30 pm to 6:00 am except for those pesky feedings every 2 1/2 hours.
LO slept 5 hours straight last night. I am so happy and feel like a real person today. Also, this little five-week-old chubster is up to 10 lbs 6 oz (was 7 lbs at birth). I put all his newborn-sized clothes and extra diapers away in storage. It made me a little sad, to be completely honest.
I had my pp appointment yesterday and started on the mini pill. DH and I had a serious discussion about when we're going to start trying for #2, which seems absolutely crazy to be even talking about a future baby already (not for a year at least, but we do want LO and #2 to be close in age) but I wanted to make sure we were on the same page before committing to the mini pill over an IUD.

Even though I have a 6 week old, I think I'm finally nesting. I just moved all the chairs and couch in my living room to vacuum, cleaned off all the surfaces and glass.
Random spam: McDonald's slogan "i'm lovin it" makes me irrationally angry. I want to take a red pen and correct everything. Why contribute to the further dumbing down of society? What was horrible with "I'm loving it!" Huh?!!
Well, we have now switched to gentle formula after some serious gas and fussiness. Hopefully this will help, it's no fun to watch him cry for hours on end and not be able to fix it.
Hi all! Had our 1 month visit today. DD is growing perfectly but her head circumference is apparently in the 1 percentile. Lol. She is a peanut! The ped gave us the blessing to leave the house so hopefully DH is less paranoid now.
TMI alert - had sex for the first time PP. Holy shit that hurt. Ran to Target to get lube. Our one year anniversary is on Sunday!!

Yeah it most definitely wasn't a fun experience. I figure it can only improve from here.
2nd day just me and LO at home. Would have been much better if I didn't suddenly have a hemorrhoid pop up last night. Wasn't able to sleep all night due to being so uncomfortable. Didn't think I'd have to deal with this after a C-section...but pp BM have sucked. AND to make matters worse, I dropped my phone in the toilet this morning too.
4 week OB appt friday to check my incision and LO will be 1 month. Crazy how time flies. Ugh...pretty soon I will have to be going back to work!
So there is a slight chance we could see the northern lights tonight. Unfortunately I think we have to much light pollution where we are but it still makes me excited. Seeing them is on my bucket list.
Has anyone been cleared for exercise prior to 6 weeks? I had my 2 week check-up yesterday (a little late) and was told I could start slowly adding exercise back in to my life. I was told to start with walking (which I've already been doing). She also gave me a few ideas for things to do when I get back to the gym and a few things to avoid for a bit longer. I am so excited to get back but I was a bit surprised to be cleared so early.
I didn't see my Dr until 6 wks so no. But I started walking doing leg exercises before the appointment. I figure it I started bleeding more would cut back.
I've been walking for the past 2 weeks since it got nice and also stretching for way before that. The stretching was to help out my back which was bothering me pp. Post visit today I'm hoping to add in yoga.
