Well Chase is here and fits perfectly into our family-it has been a very easy adjustment-thank goodness! Natalie has had zero signs of jealousy and became potty trained in the week that he got home from the hospital. She is a wonderful big sister-patient, loving, helpful, and pretty selfless being that she is a toddler. Chase has been a pretty easy baby thus far-he sleeps about a 4 to 5 hour stretch at night, has a couple hours of fussiness in the evening but that is getting better, and is a great eater. I am so in love all over again! I was so worried that I wouldn't love him as much as I love Natalie or that since he was a boy and I wasn't the most excited about it-that I wouldn't have the same love but as soon as he was born I was overwhelmed with love. Natalie and Chase have both been sick this week-my sister came to visit and unfortunately her kids got sick while she was here-Natalie had a fever for a few days and is now just stuck with a cold-Chase got a cold with some bad congestion but it is easing up. I took him to the doctor just to be safe since he is still so young ((3 weeks) but they just said make sure he doesn't get a fever. I have made several ventures out with the two of them by myself and it wasn't any different-we have been shopping to the mall, grocery shopping, etc..which grocery shopping was a bit of a struggle just because there was no room for the groceries!
Steven and I just joined the gym and I am hoping that I will be able to get in shape and be healthy-my struggle is that I lack self-discipline. My hope is that I will be ready to get out of the house and want to go to the gym. I would love to have my figure back from when we got married-which is a healthy size 6 or even an 8. So we shall see how the progress goes.
I know there is more to tell-but I am pretty exhausted-up last night because I have a clogged milk duct and I am really trying to prevent mastitis-but I was so worried and every couple hours kept pumping/putting hot compresses etc. but it still hasn't let up-teach me not to skip a feeding! I pray it doesn't turn into mastitis-because that was so miserable with Natalie. Anyways, will try and update post pics soon
