-clothes

[Guest guest]

It is good to hear from you. I am only on about one a week also,

there just seems to be no time to get to the computer. Even though I

sent clothes shopping, I came home with nothing! It is weird how your

body changes, my stomach seems flatter then before I was pg, but my

hips seemed to have also expanded, and it does not help that all the

clothes in the stores are hip huggers and ultratight. I have two

pairs I rotate when we go out. It is very frustrating. We went to the

mall yesterday for a couple of hours, I had to get a new outfit for

the baby's baptism. I ended up after several hours and trying on

everything in the mall it seems getting a skirt and jacket, but one

size up from my pre-pregnancy size. I was upset, but at this point it

is more important that I have a nice outfit. Shopping with a baby is

interesting, of course he had to eat, I nursed him in the lounge of

Lord and and then was very fussy while we were there. Dh and I

were both exhausted when we got home. It is amazing how much your

life changes with just one little person.

It sounds like is doing well. Christian eats every two hours in

the day and 3 at night, 4 if I am lucky. Today actually I am trying

to space him out to at least 2.5 hours, it seemed to have worked this

morning. He also falls asleep after nursing on one side, so we wakes

up and is hungry.

Talk to you soon.
