So I’m under pre-pregnancy weight by about 8 pounds already.  (Don’t hate me!  Pregnancy is the only time my metabolism works properly…I only gained 9 lbs total and the baby alone was 8+.)  I’m pretty impressed by that, but I’m still sporting the “deflated tire” look and the idea of wearing jeans just terrifies me.  Maybe in another week?  I’m still pleased with the weight loss, though!

The baby is starting to sleep for longer stretches, and I feel like a new woman after getting a couple of 3-4 hour blocks of sleep.  With any luck she’ll keep this up!

My husband was the first victim of baby spew.  I nearly laughed until I cried when that happened.  Maybe because at the time it was midnight and all I wanted was to go to sleep?  I can assure you it wasn’t quite as funny when it happened to me.  But I wasn’t the *first* one who got it, either.

He has also been the victim of a baby who likes to poop and/or pee the moment her diaper is off.  Again, hilariously funny.  Especially when he doesn’t realize she peed until he starts to get her clothes back on and they’re soaking wet.

She gained 3.5 ounces in 3 days and grew 1/4 inch in length in her first week.  She has great muscle tone and is already holding her head up.  After one who had some problems with these things, it’s nice not to have to worry about that.
