forty fortieths


20 Weeks


40 Weeks - January 28, 2012


Baby fruit size: Watermelon

Milestones: Eddie is 1 week old!

Sex: Confirmed 100%. All boy.

Sleep: At night I've been getting a couple hours at a time in between nursing the little dude. I have yet to master daytime napping, however, and seem to be running on adrenaline during the day. I'm just waiting for the inevitable crash and burn...

Stretch marks: None

Weight: Down 11 pounds since giving birth.

Food cravings: PB&J and orange juice cravings have continued beyond pregnancy, especially late at night when nursing.

Other symptoms: Some pain associated with delivery recovery and my milk coming in (OMG). Feeling scatter-brained. A surge of love and appreciation for Ed as I watch him be a father.

Best moments: Holding Eddie on my chest in the moments after he was born. Eddie's first pediatrician visit. The flood of visitors that have come to meet and cuddle our sweet baby. All the help we've gotten from our family (THANK YOU).

What I miss: 10 hours of sleep at night. Having a routine. My pregnant belly.

What I'm looking forward to: Everything.

Love to see you with your little bambino! 19 weeks postpartum, and I'm still running on adrenaline :)
