I have a 3 week old!

Kayden Christopher @ 3 weeks old

Where does the time go? I cant believe Kayden is already 3 weeks old. It has been a wonderful 3 weeks. I am so glad he is here. He is such a great little guy. He is worth getting up at 3am and being peed on by. He is now a breasteeding champion! He wasnt too interested in it for a while. I was supplementing formula and pumping. But over the weekend, he decided he likes the boob better! It is much more convenient, and now I dont have to mix formula and wash bottles. It also makes me feel closer to him. Im glad Breeanna is such an understanding big sister. I was afraid she would be jealous of me holding and feeding him. But she understands he is a baby and needs that extra care. So, he is drinking lots and growing lots. I already have a stack of clothes he has outgrown or wasnt even able to wear. Its sad putting stuff away already knowing that is the last time it will be worn :( He sleeps very well, once he is sleeping. He likes to stay up alot through the day, I guess he doesnt want to miss out on anything. He sleeps very good at night, usually a 4-5 hour stretch. So then I am a happy Mommy as I get some solid sleep too! He has become very vocal. He growls and makes noises that sounds like a kitten. And he will get snorting like a little piggy too. He prefers to sit up in his bouncy, swing, or be propped up on the boppy pillow. He just likes to be part of the action! He and I have not ventured out on our own again. But I did go out with just the kids the other day. And we all survived! They are both good travellers and love car rides. Thank goodness!

I am now very mobile, cant keep me still! I am so glad I have recovered. I was so happy I had a VBAC, yet so frustrated I had the other pain to deal with. I am now down 39lbs since giving birth. That puts me 13lbs below my pre pregnancy weight! It has been a long time since Ive been this low. I plan to still lose another 15-20lbs by summer. I really look forward to buying new clothes. Nothing fits! Its all too big, or maternity wear. I have been busy chasing after Bree as well as still eating less and eating healthy. I am planning on walking with the kids twice a day once this freezing weather stops. Spring cant get here soon enough!
