Busy? Or Held Hostage?

Yes. It's been a month since I last posted on here. But in my defense I've been a little busy... well rather, I have a newborn who doesn't let me do anything. So here's what I'm up to...

I'm still trying to stay away from cheese. I find that it congests the baby, I can tell when I've slipped because he gets all snotty and junk.

Last week I tried to go off chocolate. That lasted a day. Not because I "needed" chocolate, but because I forgot. The next day, I decided to be a good mommy and let my 3-year old help me bake, and what does she want to bake? Chocolate chip cookies, of course. And yes, I ate them. And no, I didn't remember when I was eating them that I was off chocolate. It wasn't until the next day, as I was grabbing a leftover cookie, that I realized. Sad. I'll start again... another day.

Nursing is going great. The baby seems to think so too. He would nurse all day everyday. In fact, he's not sleeping enough at night because of it. Pumpkin head!

We had his month check up (a month ago...) and he had gain almost 4 pounds! What can I say, I feed 'em good! I've got to get him in this week for his 2 month check up. Bo and I decided that at this appointment we're going to finally clip his tongue. (He has an attached tongue) He nurses great, but we don't want him to have a lisp in the future so we're going to finally bite the bullet and just do it. They say it won't hurt them, but I think that's a load! How do they know the baby doesn't feel anything; because the baby says so? I think not. Doctors!

Rex has finally started smiling. It made all the hard times we've been through this past two months worth it. And boy does he have a cute smile! Now, if only he'd start sitting on his own and being entertained so I could get something done, like laundry!

Boo finally has realized the baby isn't going away. She's starved for attention most days. It's a hard thing that mothers go through to be sure to spread their love to all their children. It's just so hard to be the mom I was before having two kids. She wants all the attention, and is frustrated at this little "creature" who has taken part of that love from her. I'm sure this is typical, but it sure adds frustration into the mix in our house.

As far as weight goes. Shockingly I've stayed about the same, and actually I've lost a pound or two. And that's just crazy seeing as how I went camping this past weekend and ate straight JUNK! I did drink tons of water, so maybe that made the difference. But even Bo dropped some weight in the last week or two. I'll have to think back on what we did different and keep doing it! :)

Well that about sums it up. Hopefully it won't be another month before I write my thoughts down. I've been thinking a lot over the last month and have wanted to post them, but typing with one hand isn't easy so I've just put it off!
