I cant believe my new life started 3 1/2 weeks ago. Piper is amazing. I love this little girl more than I ever knew I could love anyone. She is so sweet and has so much personality already. She is the best thing that has ever happened to me, ever! We make sure to get out of the house every day to do things. I cant handle being in the house, I feel lonely and trapped and I hate it. We have been to the mall a few times, visited a bunch of friends, stopped by my work to visit....lots of stuff. Today we met this girl Sara that I work with. She was induced 2 days after me in the room right next to mine and had a little boy, Colby, 12 hours after Piper was born. We met at the mall and just walked laps at the mall and chatted for about 1 1/2 hours. It was really nice to get out and get some "Exercise".
I also had an appt with my OB earlier this week. My blood pressure seems to be up a bit still so I have another re-check in 2 weeks. I think I need to talk to them about my anxiety too....its not nearly as bad as it was a couple of weeks ago but its bad. And, I got the Okay to go back to weight watchers after the holidays. wooo hooo! I was doing weight watchers when I got pregnant and they kicked me out. I think they should come up with a pregnancy plan but I get the issues that it could cause if people are not making good choices. They have a great nursing program though. And, the good news is....I am down 24 lbs from my last pregnant appt.....better news about that is that I only gained 13 lbs pregnant, so I am down 11 lbs from my pre pregnancy weight. Wooo hooo. I think nursing is helping big time. I think you burn an extra 1,000 cals a day from nursing! Time to get this mama healthy for my little girl.
Piper has started to have colic or something in the evenings. It starts around 6-7 at night and ends around 9-10 at night so far. She is super fussy unless I swaddle her, rock her, move around...its tiring. Tonight was the worst and she just screamed for a while. I almost lost my shit. I finally just nursed her and she stayed on for a while using me as a pacifier but I didnt even care. She fell asleep and I let her sleep on me for about 45 mins before I put her down. Love her so much but the screaming thing is tiring. Very tiring!
Alright, its after 11 and she will be up in an hour or so, so I am going to check facebook and try to get some sleep! Ill be back soon!
