first of all, it's sooo nice out.  the windows are open, the breeze is blowing, i am in a really good mood, the 2nd night home with .gabe was a lot easier than the first, & he's sleeping next to me on the couch right now.. so freaking cute. 

&!!!! 

at my last prenatal appointment, 3 days before i had .gabe, i weighed almost 193lbs.. the day after i had him, i was 184lbs.. 8lbs right away!  saturday i weighed myself, & i was 172lbs!!!!  12lbs in 5 days! &  .then.. last night.. i weighed myself again, & i was 168lbs!  holy crap!  i'm already down like 25lbs & i just delivered 8 days ago!

yay on the weight loss!  i'm a little stuck with mine, finn's almost 5 months old and i've lost about 43 but i'm still about 28 above my pre-preg weight.  that's what happens when you gain 70 freakin' pounds!  i don't count the first 25 lost though because it just fell off once finn was born (baby+placenta+fluids= 20-25 pounds). 

drinks *tons* of water to flush the fluids out and you may drop even more! 

Wow, your tummy is getting so flat already!  It was only a few days ago that it was waaaaay out there!  And on your weight loss!  Keep breastfeeding him if you can - it's a great way to steadily lose the weight. 

He's so incredibly' cute!  His second picture and your face picture are so similar - .I'll say this again, he totally has your profile. 

i only have like 2 outfits that fit him!  he doesn't fit into *anything*!!  it's all so huge on him.  even newborn stuff is too big! &  .he was 8lbs 1oz when he was born!! 

He is adorable!  How is breastfeeding going for you? 

.it's going.. uhh.. i don't know, lol.  i'm pretty much just pumping & giving him my milk through bottles.  i still nurse him & i do it for like 30 minutes at each boob, & even after that, he cries & roots on his fingers or his pacifier or anything that crosses his mouth, lol.  so i end up having to give him a bottle.  but at least he's still getting my milk & it's easier 'cause someone else can feed him if i need to do something, ya know?
