Dearest Magpie is now 16 weeks and to my dismay discovering how delicious and soothing his thumbs are. I have been tirelessly pulling his clumsy little fists out of his mouth and popping in his sucka. Which we now own a million of specifically in the size and shape he prefers. As this battle rages on he has also now decided that he will stay up past bed time and be just mildly fussy, so I have to remove him from the bed room but I still can't get him to tire himself out. I have finally discovered the magic of the side hold to rectify that lovely habit. So needless to say with his new bad habits I may have cracked a little bit and allowed him to peer at the television for a few minutes tonight after my adimant stance against letting him get sucked into a screen. *sigh* You won't win 'em all.
Mommy's update is just as frustrating but there is no pacifier and side rock for me :( I bought a new scale a little while back when I realized "Oh crap! My wedding dress is how many sizes too small and I only lost how many pounds since he was born?!?!" And I've been stalking that scale worse than an ex on Facebook. Not only am I not losing weight but I gained a good 5 lbs and its going no where. I am exclusively breastfeeding, I am pumping like crazy and I'm avoiding the junk food. In the last few weeks we've started going on walks, I've been doing small reps of things in the house (crunches, squats, jug curls) not to mention baby press ups and the hours of 'bounce and shh'. What the heck man? Where is my "breast feeding melts off the fat!" ? However I have now been stuck in this weight long enough that I am starting to embrace it and become more comfortable which is most important right now because DH was getting sick of me ragging on how fat and gross his wife was. It doesn't help that I feel like I haven't worn real clothes in a year and that my torso is just perpetually naked. I'm not one to worry about shame, I do however just want to feel comfortable again. But as I said, I am getting there. I bought some new clothes (to go with my announcement next month!!) And being able to dress like and adult is wonderful and helping a lot. Now if I could get my shower schedule a little better and do something with my hair and make up I'd feel awesome but when I have to choose between dishes and laundry and hair and make up the house wins. Not that the little goof is letting me get much of that done either. :p
