2 week appointments

I'm a little late in posting this, but Sean and I had our 2 week checkups on Tuesday. Mine was first. everything is going well. I'm down to 131lbs (woohoo) and they removed the steri-strips from my incision. I can drive and carry the baby carrier with Sean in it now. I still can't pick Kaelin up, but I admit I have cheated a few times. But mostly just stuff like helping her in the carseat or getting her down from the table. I have to go back at 6 weeks to see Dr Files, then probably a few weeks later if I decide to get an IUD.

Sean's appointment went well also. He's up to 7lbs 9oz and 20 1/4in! My big little man! They took blood for his second newborn screen and he was very unhappy about that. He doesn't have to go back until 2 months for his next set of shots.

Mike took Kaelin grocery shopping while I was with Sean at his appointment. It was nice not to have to do the shopping for a change! I'm sure we spent more money that way but oh well, he did pretty good.

I think we're doing pretty well since Mike went back to work on Wednesday. We've been in bed by 9:30 every night and Mike's been up on time in the morning. Sean does pretty good through the night. Some nights he'll sleep longer stretches, but for the most part he's up every 2 hours or so. I try really hard to get him to sleep in the PNP all night but if he won't settle down I'll let him come snuggle with me. But that's normally not until the end of the night when I'm hardly able to keep my eyes open long enough to feed him.

He's been a little gassy and fussy lately. I've been trying to correct a forceful letdown and foremilk/hindmilk imbalance and it seems to be helping. I feel bad though because I didn't know about that with Kaelin so I'm wondering if she ever really had colic. Well, I better shower while little man is happy and Kaelin is occupied!
