Carmey, funny about DH putting on weight! Mine is too and is not happy about it But since our last guests left I cleaned out the fridge completely...So no more dairy, sugar, flour, white bread etc...webasically avoid all white! My issue right now is that I can't have acidic fruits and veggies, so I jeep trying new salad recipes and that seems to be all we're eating at the moment...I miss tomatoes and Oranges But once Eva's reflux settles, I'll introduce them back in slowly...Good for you on the 7K! Youll be back to yourself in no time. Eva is starting to settle for longer naps now so I might start running (in the snow - It is my favorite way to run anyway - I hate running in the heat!).
As for supply - I find that when I sleep more I have more. When I do get in a RARE nap I wake up in the afternoon completely engorged! So I am sure there is something to that, and usually we have less milk at night - maybe to get us ready for when they sleep through!
I am glad to hear Jack is settling a bit - I am sure it was a growth spurt. PS do you know I read that a breastfeeding woman needs 2700 calories a day! That is huge! That's why I'm so hungry all the time...and I sometimes crave sweet stuff which is so not my thing...! So blame the ice cream on that, and for DH, I guess he can call it sympathy eating
Sesame, aren't the burps that come out of them huge!? I could not believe Eva had the capability of burping with so much force! lol. It is funny because she is a cute little girl then all of a sudden Brrrraaaahhhhhh! lol. As for the nipple pulling thing, Eva does that when she is out of milk on one side - do you feed him both sides? I was told to try to give her both since at this age they should be eating more with more space between meals...so try giving him the secodn boob if he has not had it. He might be ready to up his portions The nurse told me that to have little meals all day is not so good for their digestion since they are constantly working instead of having full/hungry messages clearly in their belly. I don' t know how tru ethat is, I am feeding more for the breaks in between feedings!
Alison, I saw a pic of you and Amelia with your friend and her baby! She has grown so much! She is starting to really resemble a little person, not just a baby! What a cutie!
As for everyone else, HELLO!
Eva slept in her room again last night! woohoo! Had a sort of dodgy wake up at 230 - she ate then got me out of bed two more times for her pacifier, and then up at 6:30, so getting better...She went down at 6pm then up for a bath at 9 then back to bed at 10...so I might have to try to put her down a bit later since it makes less waking at night possible.
Today I have workers in the house finishing up last minute stuff so I reckon she won't get much sleep with the noise (although she seems to be sleeping through it now - guess she remembers the noise from in utero since I spent the whole end of my pregnancy with the house under construction!).
xoxo
