Our lil guy weighed in at 10.1 lbs yesterday and was right on target. We have switched him back to milk based formula and he seems to be taking it well which is great. He has been feeding every two hours during the day and seems to be really hungry. Things seems to be getting better which is great. We moved him into his nursery last night for the first time. Steve slept upstairs and I slept in the bedroom. He took over the night shift although I was up until 3am preparing formula since I was too paranoid to shut the monitor off. I was able to get some good sleep though which makes a world of difference. Last night while I was feeding him at 10pm in the nursery he made my heart melt. We were sitting on the little "Max" Chair and he kept looking up at the window and just smiling. It was sooo cute I wish I had it on video.
Steve and I ventured into Manhattan yesterday to get the dogs groomed and for my post op appointment. It was the first time I was out in public with Max on my own and it was a bit nerve racking. He was good in the doctors waiting room but once we got into the room he started cryinggggg because he was hungry. The appointment was rushed and I didn't get get to weigh myself :( I tried feeding him in the office, but the bottle was too cold so I carried him out while pushing the stroller. Worst part was my phone locked which it never had before and I couldn't figure out how to unlock it so I could call Steve and tell him to get us. I guess it takes time getting used to public meltdowns and leaving the house. It takes forever to pack things up for him and to get going. I guess that's how it's going to be for a few years, I better get used to it ;)
The doctor said everything had healed perfectly and that I could start working out and taking baths again. Wohoooooooo! Which of course I did last night and it felt greatttttt!I weighed myself at my parents house and weighed in at 132...hmmm I have 17 pounds to lose...I better get started. Treadmill here I come :)
First couple trips out are nervewracking! It really does get easier though. :)
