@ birth:

Latched on immediately. Wants to eat all the time.
Black poo!

@ 1 week:

Loves baths. Hates leaving the water.
Green poo!

@ 2 weeks:

Gained 2/3 lbs and grew 0.5 inch for a total of 8 lbs and 19.5 inches.
Yellow poo!

@ 3 weeks:

Looks around to see what's going on.
Says "ah-goo."

Me, I'm doing better. No more weepiness, though I'm still inhaling Angie's delicious scent nonstop. Also I was able to stop taking painkillers last week because the single stitch I had to get was no longer bugging me. However, the weight is coming off as slowly as I'd feared. A week after giving birth I went from +13 lbs to +10 lbs without even trying, but now 3 weeks postpartum I'm still at +10 lbs. I'm not supposed to engage in any major exercise for 3 more weeks, so until then I don't think there's much I can do other than stay away from junk foood.

  I figure if it took 40 weeks to gain the weight, you ought to allow yourself that much time to take it off. Chances are you're going to lose it all just by breastfeeding anyway. :)

  Sher, I like your philosophy! I've made it a goal to lose 10 lbs in 9 months ;)

  We don't even own a scale, so I never knew when I lost all my baby weight.
