Michael
turned 3 months old on June 8th!

Nursing: Michael
has continued to do well with nursing! Boy likes to eat. He had his 2 month
appointment during this month and he weighed 12.7 lbs. So nearly 2lbs up from
his birth weight in 2 months. He is a growing boy. He also had grown 3 inches!
I started back to work on 5/30 and I was super nervous about how he would do
with taking a bottle for more than one feeding in a row. He didn’t seem to
mind. He had no problems going back to nursing when I got home in the
afternoons! This means I am pumping more than before to keep my stash up. I am fortunate
to have great accommodations at work that allow me to pump when I need to.

Sleep: He sleeps well
for the majority of the time. Most nights it is at least a 5 hour block
followed by another 2-3 hour block. I am not complaining. He will still have a
few nights where he wants to nurse off and on every few hours but they have
coincided with Wonder Weeks or Growth spurts. I know every child is different
but he has followed pretty closely to the Wonder Week schedule and also the
common growth spurts.

About Michael: He lost
most of the brown hair on the top and sides of his head and it is growing in
blonde. He still has beautiful blue eyes and the sweetest smile. He is in size
1 diapers and 3-6 month clothing. He loves looking at the ceiling fan and the
shadows that it makes. His head control seems to be getting better every day.
He will smile, giggle and coo when you talk to him. He has started to converse
with us with his made up language. He loves Buster and Buster loves him. They
are going to be best buddies once he gets big enough to play. He is trying to
roll over. He gets up on his side but can’t figure out how to go all the way
over yet. During this month we took a trip to see my husband's god mother, Jay. She lives in Delaware and we couldn't wait for Michael to meet his Great Grandma!

Postpartum: I am back to
my pre-pregnancy weight (yay) but I need to continue with the weight loss. I
had slowly gained more than I care to admit over the last year or two. My body
is still adjusting back to “normal” even though the scale says I am back my
stomach still has loose skin, but I now that takes time. I have slowly added
more and more to my workouts. I missed working out hard when I was pregnant. I just
have to be careful because I can tell my knee joints are still a little lax. I
love being Michael’s mom! I feel that time is going by so fast and at the same
time I can’t remember what it was like before he got here. He is a perfect fit
for our family and I can’t wait to see person he grows up to be!
