So Not Complaining!

See that baby? That is all she does these days! I am so not complaining because I know before I know it this baby will be up ALL day long! Last night she slept about 5 hours straight! Good sleep for mommy... good baby! I can already see that she will be more like Eric. She is so laid back and is always content. She does fuss a little in her sleep, but then I hear a butt explosion, aka poo or fart, and she falls right back to sleep. This princess in training will hopefully be my laid-back princess.

Okay I now have to give props to those moms who exclusively breast feed. I am trying my best and man is this a new feat! I chose this route for 2 reasons, 1. it is economical 2. It burns major calories. I have almost lost my preggo weight this time around just by producing milk and not having an appetite (that is back by the way). The only problem for me is that I have the nipples from H-E- double hockey sticks. They are inverted and even all that I have done has not brought them out. So I am now a prisoner to my breast pump... oh so not attractive whatsoever! The upside is that I produce 3 ounces or more at each time and she will drink 3 ounces every time and will be content or sleep for at least 3-5 hours. This mommy sadly is ready to move on to formula. Pumping is taking its toll on me. My milk never came in with Angela so it wasn't painful to dry up. This time, however I am afraid that this will be so painful! I did tell Eric that I will hopefully last one month.

So, Sassy princess is now 8 years old. I have to say that she is such a great big sister. There have been no bouts of jealousy, which makes this mommy so happy. I think Eric being home helps, since he takes her places to keep her occupied. My one problem, well not really a problem is that she is too helpful at times. Tomorrow Eric is taking Angela to a Dodger game, which will give me some time alone.

Tonight I start my nightly neighborhood walks.... AMEN to fresh air! So happy to start my little exercising! I have about 20-25 pounds left to loose to get to my goal weight. I am determined this time since I know that I will never be a baby maker again!
