Kurt is one month old today. I have to remember to take some pictures of him. He is still fussy and is always hungry. Kurt has definitely threw me a curveball with caring for a newborn. I must say I feel like a new parent all over again. You'd think after 3 kids, I'd be an 'expert' by now. Ha! I feel like an inexperienced parent. I feel like a new parent w/lack of parenting skills! Everyday is a 'trying' day for us but we seem to manage somehow. We are tired, beat and worn out for sure! However, he brings us pure joy and endless smiles no matter how tough it is each day!
I finally stepped on the scale today. Prior to getting pregnant I was close to 165 lbs. I was pretty overweight to begin with and knew I had to 'watch" what I ate so to not gain so much weight w/the pregnancy. In the end, I gained a total weight of 12 lbs. Everyone seems to think the baby pulled all the weight off of me. It makes sense that he sorta did b/c he was 8lbs..the rest of the 4lbs was the 'excess' I guess? I don't know how it all got distributed but I seem to have fared well. My weight today? I am 139 lbs.! I don't know if I am losing anymore but I hope to keep the weight off.
It is Friday and it's raining. The rain is much needed. As much as I hate gloomy/gray days, I love the smell of rain and the sunshine day we get the day after it rains. Hope it's nice where you are all at. May you all have a nice weekend!
Happy 1 month birthday to my little guy, Kurt!

I'm so glad you're doing better and that Kurt is doing so well. Don't be surprised if you continue to lose weight for a while. If you're breast feeding, you're burning a lot of calories. (My sister experienced that with her first child.) Enjoy your weekend!
Happy 1 month birthday to Kurt! So glad to hear everyone's healthy and flourishing. :-)
