Weight update

Saff had her 2 month well child visit today. She now weighs 11lbs and 1 oz. She is 22 ¾” long. I plopped R down on the scale too. His weight said 25.0 lbs!!! That’s up another half pound! Yay!

Now us grownups are fatter than ever. I re-joined weight watchers last week. I weigh 12 lbs more than I did when I joined last April. Of course that’s all baby weight, but I can really feel it. I’m sad to say that I’m still wearing maternity pants. WW’s takes into account breastfeeding, so I’m eating still eating quite a bit of food. My first weigh in is tonight and I really hope that I’ve lost at least a pound or two. That’s how the program works, you are not supposed to really lose more than two pounds a week. Slow is healthiest.

I hope to report good news tonight after bedtime.

I’ve also started seeing a chiropractor. I really like her. My body’s feeling pretty worn out after the birth and now the strain of (often) carrying two kids at once. When we are in parking lots or other high traffic areas, I often carry Saff in that darn carseat (gotta weigh a ton) and R on my opposite hip. Combine that with the 10 lb diaper bag slung over one shoulder and you can see how my back would start to hurt. Long trips away from the car, I just use the stroller. But I have to come up with a solution for shorter trips. Once it’s warmer I can use my mei tai more, but with coats it’s a little more complicated.
