Teatopia

Dropping pounds (well, maybe a few)

Yay! Yay! Yay!

I have lost some weight. Don't know how much because I haven't weighed myself since a few weeks post-partum because I know it's more than I'd like, and I can't handle the truth. Anyway, clothes are fitting better. I even was brave enough to try my pre-preg jeans on again, and this time, they zipped up, but they are still a bit tight to wear, but I'm making progress. This nursing thing rocks. It burns so many calories! I've also been trying to walk more, and now that I have MF to hang out with during the day, I have a walking buddy. :-)

Olivia is still teething badly. Just how long does it take for a tooth to come in? Some days I see it, some I don't Her gums look swollen to me, too. She also still wakes up every few hours. What happened to 6/7/8 hour stretches? There hasn't been one longer than 4 hours in months. I am so freaking tired, and I have bags under my eyes, and some days, so does Olivia. Poor baby. I've tried everything: teething tablets and Tylenol before bed. Even rice cereal in case she's hungry, but that doesn't help either. I was worried since I'm still exclusively nursing, that maybe she wasn't getting enough, but she's as chubby as ever and having rice cereal before bed makes no difference.

Today, I had lunch with my grandma and then we went and ran errands. I also had a physical therapy appointment today for my back. I am making progress, but I still have pain and numbness from the accident. My grandma came with me to the appointment and watched Olivia while I was in with the doctor. While I was gone, she pooped EVERYWHERE. She was in her carrier, so my grandma didn't see it, because it was all under her. It was such a mess that the doctor gave us some towels to take to stuff in there with her. Then, while I was trying to clean her up, she stuck her hand in it and wiped it on her face. EEEEEWWWWW!

Tonight we ate at Cracker Barrel with my family. I had yummy meatloaf and veggies. My mom bought Olivia the cutest snowman outfit for Christmas. We go to this Christmas light show every year, and she can wear it then. I am so excited for Christmas already. :-)

Well, I'm ashamed to say it, but Nip/Tuck comes on shortly, and I am off to make hot chocolate before it starts. Hey-- does anyone else think that Matt on Nip/Tuck looks a bit like Michael Jackson?

For mommies: milk pumping quesion here.
