A few things to post...

I have been MIA lately...but I am doing ok. I have a few things to deal with. I am going through some minor PPD, (post partum depression) & I am going to physical therapy for sciatica, for my messed up pelvic floor muscle (right side) from the delivery and for buildingback up my abs & lower extremity muscles. Everything was fine until after the 4th or 5th week after Kurt was born. I started out feeling good and felt no pain or anything. Then all the sudden a clicking in my back started and then pain started and it wasn't the same after that. As for the PPD, reality is hitting me that I am not the same as I was before the delivery. I have a hard time accepting the fact that I am not 100% and I am not able to do as much as I want to. And then, I am overwhelmed and forgetting things constantly. I am definitely not used to Kurt being needy or crying a lot or fussy. Maybe it's b/c of age I have less tolerance? I am always so used to fixing things and knowing what to do and with our number 4, I feel helpless sometimes and I feel like I'm not doing something right. Even though I know he's just being a normal baby. Anyhow, I know things will pass and get better. I plan to get over this and hate feeling this way...


On a better note...our little guy is one heck of a big boy. I'm guessing he's about 12lbs now. We'll find out tomorrow b/c it is his 2month check up and 2 months bday. When he's not fussing or crying about something, he's all smiles, laughing and just being cute. He is definitely pretty mature for a 7 week old baby...He's pretty strong and alert. He can hold his head up steady for a good long period of time. He gazes at you, talks to you when you talk to him, and started laughing the last few days. Most recently he's been playing w/his hands, sucking on it n can sit in his chair or bouncy seat and entertain himself. He doesn't sleep a lot during the day at all. Up for a good hour, then eat, nap for about an hour to 1/2 hr and then back to the same routine til bedtime.
He goes down for bed at about 10-11ish and wakes up at 2pm and 4pm for a feeding. If he's extremely tired he'll skip the 2pm feeding and will be up for the 4pm feeding.
Anyhow, below are pictures of Kurt in the last few days...he loves his chair (it's like a Bumbo chair), I caught him waving his hand in the first picture. Today he woke up smiling & laughing...
