Back at Work

Today is my first day back at work. Dropping off Jack at the sitter's was hard, but good. As I was getting caught up at work Sally (my sitter) sent me a text updating me on how he was doing! It was nice to get that. Made me feel good. I'm doing better than I thought I would do. Just really excited to see him when I get off work!

Progress this past week: Jack is really starting to smile! Now we know that it's an actual smile and not gas. lol. Last weekend we went to San Marcos. Jack did SO good! After being fussy in La Grange, we were so worried. But he was great! And he got to meet so many people.

As far as me, I am still down just 20 lbs. I have not started to exercise yet becuase I have been sore up top from breastfeeding. Hopefully that will stop soon since he is not eating breastmilk anymore. I know I'm not getting in a two piece this summer. However, we have a cruise booked in November, so that is my goal!

4 weeks today!

Today Jack is 4 weeks old. He is starting to really figure out the world! He is getting better at focusing on things with his eyes! When I last updated, he was seeing objects but he would go cross-eyed if he stared for too long. He loves to stare.

Also, he is so enthrawled with all things musical! We have a couple different baby Einstein products that play fun classic music and Jack just loves it. If he is having a crying spat, I just sit in next to this turtle that plays music and he calms down! I heart baby einstein!

Jack's hand/arm functions are coming into play! This week was he first week that he really started to grab and hold on. Needless to say, we've already had a few times when my hair was the object. (I guess I have to go used to it).

He is almost in size 1 diapers! Our growing boy! We have started to transition him to formula also. Mainly because feeding him breastmilk was getting to be too much of a hassle.

The sad thing is that I have to go back to work in two weeks. It is not a good moment for me. I have only left him one time since he has been born (and that was only for about 4 hours). I have big control issues, so it just makes me crazying thinking that someone else will be takin care of Jack all day;(.

Overall, Jack is growing good, his physical skills are progressing, and ,oh, he started to smile a little this week!

As for me, I gained about 40 pounds when I was pregnant, and I am down 20. However, I've been down 20 for about 3 weeks now...and haven't lost anymore. This week I'm going to try to start walking a little each day. Hope that will help. I would love to loose 30 more pounds (since I was about 10 away from my goal weight when I got preggers). Fingers crossed!
