Hello, Our little dude is over 4 Months Old already...What the hey? He is growing so fast...it's actually scary. He is changing everyday and I still cannot...not even a little bit...get over his massive chubby cheeks. So freakin adorbs. Anders is such a great baby, out of all of our boys he has been the easiest to handle. He loves his sleep at night, loves to nurse and is just happy in general <3 Blessed. Our house is crazy busy at the moment. We are about halfway done our basement reno's now and are hoping we could finish up the rest before Jayden goes back to work...the countdown is on. I am blown away by how amazing and how handy my Husband is. What a gem. Anyways on to the update. Here it goes... At 4 Months Old... Weight & Length- Anders is about 15lbs 4 oz & not sure his length. Sizes- For diapers he is comfortably in size 3 diapers. Still loving cloth diapers (are not doing them 100% of the time..just when we are home all day) He wears 6-12 Month clothes...I did think he was gonna fly through them and move on the size 12-18 soon...but he seems to have slowed down. Lol. Routine- He wakes up for the day around 7am. Nurses. Hangs out for about 30 minutes then has his first nap. Wakes up. Nurses. Hangs out for about an hour or two then goes down again. He does this all day. His awake times are getting longer. He has a fussy time at night around 7:30/8. So we put him in his swing and he falls asleep in there. Then when we go to sleep around 11 I nurse him and put him in his crib. He is an amazing sleeper as he sleeps all night through (sometimes only wakes up once) Sleeping- Like I said he is amazing at sleeping. He goes down around 8pm (I dream feed him around 11) and he sleeps the whole night. If he does wake up (which has not been often) it will be around 4am. Eating- Still 100% breastfed and I will do this for as long as possible. We will introduce solids around 6 months :) Milestones- He's learning new things and loving it ;)
4 Months Postpartum- I am feeling really good. I would say my biggest stress is wanting this weight to come off (but that is going to take time) this is something that is hard for me to come to terms with :( I have not been feeling well with my stomach...it has been very upset for weeks and even months now. I never really noticed it too much, but the more I focused on it the more aware I was becoming. So I recently made the decision to go gluten free for a while to see if that helps me feel better. I think it has been about a week now since going GF and I honestly feel so great. I am no longer bloated (I do get gas...but it's probably from all the dark greens I eat lots of now...Kale, cabbage, Broccoli...lol) But I feel so much better. My Bootcamp is done now and I won't be joining again as I feel like it did it's job to get me motivated. I have been out for 1 jog now...lol...how exciting...1 jog...haha. But it's the first of many I am sure. I got some new running pants, so that is enough motivation right there! I am on the road to becoming more healthy...to listening to my body and learning what foods are going to benefit me and make me feel good. I am really just wanting to get more positive in my life...to focus on myself, on getting fit, on feeling good. I want to have nothing but positive surrounding me...that includes positive people too ;) Thanks for stopping by :)
...following my dreams... -Cynthia
