It was so sad having to move his newborn clothes from the dresser to the box of clothes he's grown out of. But I know I'll have to do it even more as the days go by. Ryker loves to be outside! Sometimes the best way to calm him down is to step out the back door with Sadie and sit on the back porch. Ryker knows when his belly is empty, and he lets us know right away that he wants something in it.
Breastfeeding is going really well! Some days we struggle with latching, but for the most part, it is nearly painless now. I have a great support group through the WIC program, at church, family, and the La Leche League. It helps me to know that we weren't the only ones that struggled at first!
My incision sight has healed very well. It looks like a little pink pencil line. The doctor has cleared me for all normal physical activity and light exercise until my muscles start to build back up. I do have a little bubble of scar tissue that has formed over a suture knot, so I can't do sit ups or crunches for 4 more weeks. I've already lost all of the pregnancy weight, I just wish I could lose the extra skin! I joke all the time about looking like a deflated albino zebra.
Having a newborn is super busy! Between your naps, their naps, diaper changes, and feedings, it is very difficult to find the time to get the housework done. I'm so glad that I have an understanding husband.
