Getting in the groove

We are finally getting a routine down and I’m starting to feel better. For awhile I thought I was going koo koo because my hormones were just CRAZZZY! We had Connor’s newborn pictures taken yesterday and I can’t wait to see them ๐Ÿ™‚

It’s awesome if I get more than a couple of meals in these days and my belly still looks like Jell-o Jigglers! I am starting to return to my old self though. Life has changed that is for sure…and I am so glad it has!

It’s been quite a challenging first week for us. We are getting in a groove though. Connor is starting to sleep more and my milk is getting better. I am pumping right now and trying to keep a supply in the fridge. We went back to the pediatrician this morning and he is up 1/2 a pound! He loves to suck on his hands and newborn clothing barely fits him! He is a big boy!
I had to get back on some antidepressants because I have been feeling really down. There is absolutely NO reason I should feel down right now…but I don’t want to end up with post pardom and I’m trying to do what is best for me and Connor. Our whole world has changed this week and it’s a WONDERFUL change and when I see my baby’s face I just want to melt. God is so good and I’m so thankful for this little blessing.
Please keep us in your prayers as we continue to figure things out ๐Ÿ™‚

Thank You!

Connor says “thank you” to all my bloggy friends!
All your sweet comments mean so much right now ๐Ÿ™‚
The start of this first week has been challenging, especially since I just cry and cry over nothing sometimes! We are trying to get into a routine and Connor has been really good the past couple of nights. He just wants to be fed and rocked and that’s about all. My Mom and Nannie went home today…and they were a tremendous help! I was sad to see them go because it was so nice to have all that extra help. People tell you how challenging parenting is and how sleep deprived you will be, but you never actually realize that until you are IN it! It’s so worth it when I see my baby happy and look at his face. Terence has been amazing these past few days and he’s the best Daddy ever ๐Ÿ™‚ He helps me so much I am scared when he has to go back to work right now and it will just be the two of us.
Connor had his first pediatrician appt today and he looks great! The only thing is they want us to supplement him with formula right now because he has lost some weight since birth. It breaks my heart because I want to breastfeed and we are just getting in the hang of things, but I also want him to be strong and healthy so today we are starting to supplement. I know he will do well and I will still continue to breastfeed him too.
I guess that is all the updates right now. Thank you all for making me feel so much better and all your sweet comments on baby Connor, they mean so much! XOXO Becky
