How old is baby today? 6 weeks 3 days

How are you feeling(physically and emotionally)? Is your body returning to "normal", becoming yours again? A lot better. My appetite has finally come back. My stitches are still a bit sore but the doc said it may be a while before they're back to narmal as I had a 4th degree tear.

What milestones has Baby passed? Controls his head really good and smiling.

How much/often is Baby eating? About 5oz every 4 hours. Doesn't always finish the bottle though

How much has Baby gained since birth? Born at 8lbs 13oz and is now 10lbs 11oz

How much have you lost? How much more are you planning to lose? I haven't weighed myself but I'm back in all my pre-preg clothes

Whats your favorite thing to do with Baby? Take him out in the pram

What baby item(s) are you currently thankful for? baby cradle in bath, I can bath both of them together. Also his dummy, he's a crier lol

What else is going on? Not a lot! He was in hospital last week for a chest infection but he's all better now

Any pictures this week?

-How old is baby today?

9 weeks, 3 days

-How are you feeling(physically and emotionally)? Is your body returning to "normal", becoming yours again?

Physically I'm TIRED but otherwise all is well. Emotionally I'm doing ok...some days are better than others I guess. I find that my feelings are hurt very easily & I get very defensive when people incessantly tell me Elliot is "so small". My body is definitely mine again!!

What milestones has Baby passed?

He holds his head really well, he smiles or has happy faces, focuses on faces & other things, likes to kick around & has managed to roll over twice

How much/often is Baby eating?

About 4.5oz. every 3 hours. He's been lengthening his sleeping at night though to around 4 hours usually but sometimes 5.

How much has Baby gained since birth?

He was born at 4lb. 7oz. & now weighs 10lb. 4oz. (as of Monday) so he's more than doubled his birthweight

How much have you lost? How much more are you planning to lose?

I've only lost about 10 lb. so far. I lost a lot of weight when my water broke at 26 weeks.... I would like to lose a LOT of weight ;)

-Whats your favorite thing to do with Baby?

Cuddle with him, play with him, bounce with him, watch him & his daddy!

-What baby item(s) are you currently thankful for?

Swing, bouncher, Soothie, Halo Sleepsacks

-What else is going on?

Elliot has been on several trips already. We've been at my parents every weekend for the past month! He's met a lot of new people & does very well being passed around - although he is definitely becoming spoiled rotten!

Any pictures this week?

How old is baby today? exactly 6 weeks

How are you feeling(physically and emotionally)? Is your body returning to "normal", becoming yours again? I am feeling great, the past few days I have had energy to get my house clean again, I'm taking it!! I am finally beginning to feel normal (other than the sleeping but that will come)

What milestones has Baby passed? Rolling over, smiling, she found her hands, and voice box that she likes to use a lot!

How much/often is Baby eating? She is eating 4 ounces of pumped breast milk every 3-4 hours

How much has Baby gained since birth? ~3 pounds

How much have you lost? How much more are you planning to lose? I have lost 25 pounds and I would love to loose 35 more!

Whats your favorite thing to do with Baby? Cuddle and play under her new baby gym :)

What baby item(s) are you currently thankful for? Baby Gym, Vibrating chair, and rattles (she LOVES them and she smiles everytime I put them on her wrist

What else is going on? Not a whole lot else, DH has been around a lot more this week so that's been nice to finally see him and having him help me out with her periodically. He was the best last night when she wanted to eat every 2 hours he rotated with me since he could sleep in today and I couldn't b/c of my stupid pp appointment.

Any pictures this week? I haven't been too good at taking pictures this week, Bad Mommy!
