Well life as a mom is so rewarding, hard at times but still rewarding and such a blessing. I was going to primarily breast feed, but the little man is always hungry, so we have been supplementing with formula, and that seems to be helping alot. When he was born he was 7 pounds 10 ounces, almost 7 weeks later he is already 12 and a half pounds (that is on the baby scale at home.)
I have not had as much time to get on the computer since I try to nap when he does. I would love to hear updates from all my friends that are expecting. Hope all is well with everyone.

So I am settling in to being a mom. I worried constantly about my baby when he was in utero, now I worry even more. There are times when I just stare and make sure he is breathing. I just love him. He has been such a joy. Overall he is such a happy baby.
Now it is time for me to take off some of this extra baby weight. Mostly in my legs and and lower belly obviously. I can not fit into any of my old pants because my hips and pelvis have spread. But I still want to get some tone back to my body before I go out and buy new stuff.

Congrats again, he's so beautiful! I wouldn't rush getting rid of the baby weight. :)

The worrying never stops :) My daughter is five and I still check to see if she's breathing at night.
And you're nursing so the weight should come off pretty easily. Good luck :)

Glad things are going well for you. The new pictures you posted are adorable. What a cutie!

Wow! He's growing fast. He certainly doesn't look like he weighs over 12 lbs. :)
I switched formulas and I also notice that it seems to be helping (because Evyn was always hungry too). Glad you're both doing well. Love hearing the updates.

Glad you are doing well. The pics are soooo great! Love them. We started out primarily breastfeeding, but switched to formula supplementing as well. He does so well with both.

I'm glad that you are well, and that baby has a great appetite!

I know what you mean about a hungry baby... i wanted to breastfeed too, but i'm ending up b-feeding and giving formula...my daughter just gained 15 oz. in the past week! it was nuts...she's in the 90th percentile of weight for her age...our little porker!
