Can you believe it’s been over FIVE MONTHS since my last postpartum update? I know I completely dropped the ball with this and to be honest a big part of why I didn’t update was because there wasn’t too much to talk about and then life got crazy with moving. Now that we’re settling in I am planning to post monthly updates until Edith is at least 12 months.
How I Am Healing: I now 100% healed so this will be my last update in this department.
Activity: I have been more and more active every month and I am feeling good. I am back to consistent running and Edith and I go for at least one walk per day, some days a long walk and others a short one but we get out. To top it off we now live on a third floor walk up so I get a lot of stair stepping in while carrying a baby.
Weight: I haven’t weighed myself in a few months so I have no idea how much I weigh right now. I do know I gained a little bit of weight back in Nov/Dec but I am feeling good and seeing a loss now. I am still way off from my pre-pregnancy weight but I’ll get there (someday).
Breastfeeding: Edith nurses a billion times per day, some for nourishment and some for comfort and I’m okay with it for now. I am hoping that over the next few months she might cut down a bit but I plan to nurse until she is at least two or until she weans herself. Overall it is going well however we do have our ups and downs like having a low milk supply, not being able to pump much, having a frozen stash I couldn’t use and not being able to cut back on calories (for weight loss).
