4 Weeks

Where has the time gone? L is 4 weeks old today. He is a darling baby who has a little problem with gas pain but other then that he rarely cries (except for hunger and poopy diaper- he will.not.tolerate a poopy diaper for one minute) He is easy to comfort and I am madly in love with him. Today for his 4 week birthday- he smiled at me and my heart soared. Who knew he would have this effect on me. Yesterday he saw his pediatrician- all was good. He weighed 9 lbs and measured 21 inches. He is growing before our eyes. Is it hard?- fuck yeah! Lack of sleep is killing me. My parents left on Sunday and I cried my eyes out. 6000 miles is so far away. Now we are getting into our routine as a little family. B is in school 4 days a week so I am on my own. So far I am coping ok. My pelvic floor feels like it is about to fall out. I'm doing my kegels and can't wait to start exercising- the doc says I have to wait for 2 more weeks. I'm walking daily but I'm dying for more. I still owe you a birth story- mine is very tame but I will post it soon. I will leave you today with some photos of the little man and one of me looking just wrecked!!!!!!
