1) Although I am nearly back to my original weight, my body is completely different. I would say that is due to a lack of existence at the gym, and mostly, a crappy diet. Let me just tell you that just because you have a salad doesn't mean you can eat a pint of ice cream.
2) I thought I would be done being drop-dead exhausted by now. Not so much. Despite the fact that Bryce sleeps through the night (most of the time), I am tired, all the time. There is no amount of caffeine that can fix this.
3) I'm still waiting for my linea niagra to disappear. I still have a faint brown line down the middle of my tummy. Hopefully this will be gone by the time swimsuit season arrives. Of course that assumes I'll be in a bathing suit during swimsuit season.
4) I feel older. Now I know that today is the youngest I'll ever be, blah, blah, blah, but the difference is night and day from before Bryce to now. I wonder if this feeling has anything to do with not working out and a crappy diet. hmmm.....
5) I'll admit, I miss Hoda and Kathie Lee. I wish I was home during the day just for this. Maybe I'll set the TiVo.
Okay, now on to the (2nd) love of my life. Bryce has been up to sooooo much, and I wanted to just capture a few thoughts for my general, small audience.
- Mr. Smiles & Laughs is his new nickname. He loves to smile and loves to laugh. He's tickelish on his tummy.
- He has a doctors appointment this week, so I don't know how much he weighs yet, but I'm guessing he's nearly 15 pounds.
- He's into size 2 diapers. I actually had to give the rest of my size 1 diapers away because he was constantly using more diaper than diaper could hold (if you know what I mean).
- His hair is really growing in-- we think it's strawberry blonde most days. Other days it's just light brown/blonde.
- He is out of his '3 month' clothing and into either 3-6 month or 6 month outfits. He's so long that none of the legs fit unless they are 6-month size.
- Speaking of sizes, he still eats 32-35 ounces per day. He eats at 7am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm and 7pm. He actually gulps like he just can't get it fast enough. But, when he's full, he starts to play with the bottle with his tongue.
- Everything goes into his mouth-- his hands comfort him, and all toys must taste yummy.
- He's a drool monkey some days. Gross.
- He can grasp his binky and hold on to it. He actually enjoys taking it out of his mouth just to insert his fist instead.
- Bath time rocks. He's not huge into playing with the water yet, but it's more like he just wants the water to be as high as possible as he likes to sink into the water. Sometimes we have to embrace him just to keep him from trying to submerge himself.
- He is starting to sit up with very little support. He can sit on our laps and doesn't need to be held for a significant period of time.
Those are some main points that he's up to right now.
The best is this little video that he likes of Baby Bach. He's entranced by the TV. I'm not sure if this is good or bad!!!
