Baby Brody : Week 2

Another busy week with some family in town.  We're all having a ball! Both Matt and I were able to get out and about some this week which felt so nice.  

Feeding:  Brody is eating like a champ.  We have been clustering feeding this week (eating all the time).  I'm still breastfeeding, pumping and supplementing some with the 2oz bottles of Similac.  

Sleeping: He is still sleeping pretty much during the day, but is becoming more and more alert.  At night, I have been trying to get to bed a little earlier which means he is too and he is waking up one to two times a night.   It hasn't been too bed. He is still sleeping in the room next to our bed, so I usually walk him to his nursery and change his diaper and feed him in there.  

Likes: He loves his massages at night, walks, bath time, being outside, riding in the car, and his Momaroo

Postpartum: this week was amazing.  Somewhere around 7-10 days postpartum, all the swelling just evaporated from my body.  My face seemed back to normal and my legs and ankles and it was such a nice feeling.  I could tell for several nights in a row that I was waking up with severe sweat.  It turns out it was my body releasing all these extra fluids.  I still have 15lbs to go to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight, but I sure am happy to see all that fluid gone.

I love my walks but it sure is HOT and muggy here!
