One

Lucy is one whole month old today! I can’t believe it. Can you? Gosh, time flies.

Being a Mom is not as hard as I had anticipated. I am not saying that it is easy, but I am not pulling my hair out everyday. God has definitely blessed me with a wonderful, beautiful, content child. Honestly, recovering from the C-section has been far more challenging than having a new-born.  

She is a good sleeper- thank you! She is a good eater as long as I got the goods to feed her- still working on that. I have been having to supplement her in the evenings because after all day of feeding my supply is pretty low, I need to keep myself better hydrated and then we will probably be on the right track.

I had my OB follow-up today, Doc says I am recovering quickly and that in a few more weeks I will be jumping up and down like nothing ever happened. That is good, I feel like I am not going to be able to do anything ever again. I can’t wait to dance, run up the steps when I am scared in the basement, take Lucy out in her car seat, walk around the grocery store without feeling winded… things like that.

So, I still have my baby pooch. It is shrinking, but it is pretty weird. It reminds me of one of those swollen Ethiopian bellies.  Actually, I don’t think it is a pooch anymore, I think it is a Christmas Cookie belly. Ha-Ha. I am almost serious. I am however back to my pre baby weight already- totally surprised about that one- guess I should lay off the cookies while I can. 

Here are some snapshots from our first month together…
