Well we all have made it two weeks now!! Whew!! What a whirlwind!! Breastfeeding is such an awesome bonding experience and I am so fortunate I am able to do it BUT it is like doing the MS-150 EVERYDAY!!! GOD sure does give me the strength and stamina to do it 24/7!! I truly am amazed at how good I can function on such VERY LITTLE sleep!! I am gettting caught up on all the infomercials late at night and have decided to maybe buy 1 or 2 things!! HA!! My night sweats have FINALLY ended from the surgery....I looked like an old woman sitting in the glider at 3 am with a blanket wrapped around my neck and a blanket covering my entire body with just Jaxton's little face emerging to breathe for fresh air while feeding!! Poor little guy!! I think we have finally figured each other out now and he has started to trust me..THANK GOODNESS!! I do know for sure he HATES to be in a wet diaper of any sort!! At least he will be a clean man when he gets older!!
His umbilical cord fell off when he was 8 days old in his pajamas!! Now his diapers can actually fit him and keep the PEEPEE in them instead all over me!!! His circumcision has healed great now too so we will begin the REAL baths tomorrow!! He loves to have his hair washed and then to be massaged with lotion afterwards....no cries during bath time yet!!
I know babies don't really know they are smiling yet BUT he sure does smile A LOT!! Hopefully that means he is truly happy!! He hiccups a ton too just like he did when he was in my womb...it's cute except when I just get him to sleep and they erupt and then we start all over again!!
We took him to the Dr. last week for his one week apt since she did not see him in the hospital. He lost the usual weight babies do right after birth and weighed in at 6 pounds 8 ounces and everything else stayed the same. This week we went for his two week apt and all those feedings have paid off because he weighed in at 7 pounds 6 ounces....surpassing his birthweight and he GREW 1 1/4 inches from 19 1/2 to 20 3/4. Hopefully he will be a tall, dark and handsome man!!! He truly is changing before my eyes everyday...I can't believe it happens that fast!!
I got on the scale myself at his Dr's because I felt like I had lost a lot of weight already and I DID!!! I gained 29 pounds during my pregnancy from 121 to 150. When I stepped on the scale I weighed in at 128...so only 7 pounds to get to my pre-pregnancy weight!! Thank Goodness my body responds well to pregnancy...I'm sure breastfeeding has helped alot too!!
