4 Week PostPartum Update

WOW! I can't believe that Carson is 4 weeks old already. It seems like yesterday I was pushing him out. He has been such a good baby and he has slept through the night (what I call it) since 2 weeks. CRAZY! GREAT! He is such a great baby. He pretty much only cries when he is hungry or wet. He is a wonderful eater and I guess that is why he is almost 10 lbs already. At the last doctors appointment he was 9.9 and that was on the 18th. I suppose I could weigh him on our scale here but I know he is eating well. I actually gave him a bottle of breast milk the other day because I was in a hurry and he took it, no problem. I also changed out his paci and it only took him a moment to go from one to the other. I'd say he is a pretty calm child. I think that is going to come in handy when it comes to his siblings.

As for me, I have gotten back into my size 5 jeans!! I'm so happy! It would be awesome to get back into the 3's because I have so many of those but in time. I will probably start the Zumba class at church soon. I need to just work on this tiny gut I have now. I did pamper myself today and bought a few new shirts. For some reason I seem to not have any shirts that fit me. I will definitely be doing some Spring cleaning this year and clearing out the closet.

My allergies seem to have gotten better or gone away. I am occasionally taking the allergy tincture and still doing the candida. I probably should continue the allergy each day but I seem to forget. I'm not so good at remembering to take things (pills and such). Mommy brain I guess. So, no hives or swelling since visiting Genesis and I pray it continues. I have to say that I will go there for anything I need medical related (not so serious that is) from now on.

My mom has the kids this weekend! Another hooray! I feel so good that I get to spend some quality time with Carson. Mom will be bringing them back Monday and stay for a couple of days. It is such a relief when they are gone though I miss them so much. Brady is just...well, Brady. He is a 2 year old boy and good at it. I was just in need of some R&R. Breathhhhhhh....ahhhhhhhhhhhh.

Now, I'm going to rest while the baby is and then to feed and put him to bed.

Nite all
