This has been such a hectic time and now that things are calming down hopefully we will have a routine everyday and I will be blogging again. I switched to this new blog so we can write about our Family life and things that make me happy. Jasper is now 6 weeks tomorrow and I will write a blog post updating him.
One Month Post a little late.
September 1st, 2012
Happy one month, Jasper! It's hard to believe that four whole weeks ago I gave birth to our little man. I've already forgotten so much about the whole experience and now I understand how women are able to go through birth more than once ( not me though). My experience was pretty crazy, yet my mind has already seemed to glaze over all of the painful parts and really just focus on the outcome. It's funny how that works!
This month has been absolutely amazing. I love being a Mama. I adore everything about it- my heart has grown immensely over these past weeks and it's truly the best feeling in the world. As far as Jasper's progress, he is 10 pounds and an inch taller. I'm so happy breastfeeding is going so well. We may try and introduce a bottle soon (with pumped milk) so I can have a bit of a break from time to time and get more than 2 hours of sleep, which will be really nice. It seems like he grows and changes every single day. The biggest change is how much more alert and aware he is. Now he can focus on things, move his head and eyes to follow objects, and he really responds to my voice. He has a lot of strength in his neck and can hold it up for long periods of time too. He's outgrown all of his newborn clothes and is now into 0-3 months.
As far as my workout and getting my pre-baby body back, I've been walking almost everyday and Hiking. I will start going to the gym in October. I miss it so much and I'm looking forward to getting in some good workouts. I definitely still don't look like my "old" self, and really, I don't care too much. I'm happy, and I'm focusing on Jasper and being a Mom. I know that with my return to my normal workouts in a couple of weeks and starting to eat wholesome again I will feel even better and the weight will come off in time. There's no rush.
Since Jasper was born he has meet so many new people of friends and family. We have been non stop since he was born and finally moving back to Bend we can now set up a routine. Joshua is finally at his Apartment in Portland and I will be visiting every other week.
