Sarah! Cooper is so cute! I bet you are doing an awesome job being his Momma! I can TOTALLY relate to being a first time Mom and adjusting and accepting that you cannot do it all! But the snuggles with our little men are so so worth it! As for being an over sharer...well, I love that you are posting about babe cos well, it's relevant to me! (how selfish I know!) If you would like to talk personally re: mommy stuff, email me anytime! nursemail2004@yahoo(dot)com
You look so good by the way! I gained 60! OMG! Have only lost about 30! EEP!
Take care Mamma!

You look so cute and happy! Breastfeeding is the best! I hope you will stick with it! I breastfed all four of my children for at least six months. It is so convenient and SO good for baby and mommy. The weight just drops off while breastfeeding (although you look great and not like you just had a baby!). In the beginning, I think a lot of moms get discouraged, but the "high demand" eases off, and you will fall into a very manageable routine. And remember...housework will always be there, but not those precious, snuggly babies!

He looks like such a little man in them! I think it's the grey. :)

Thank you!!

Thanks Cassie!!

I know the weight will come off eventually but I'm at such an awkward stage where my old clothes are too small and the maternity clothes are too big. I've been wearing the same outfit for the last two weeks (I've washed it in between though, haha) because it's the only one that fits.

I'm not lying, I pinky swear those are extra-larges!!! I did like those pants so much that I made Alex go back and get me a second pair in a different colour (he picked the green, haha). Good old Wally-World. ;)

That's so funny because we have been doing the exact same thing! I'll feed the little guy right before about 10:00 or 11:00 before bed and Alex will do his feeding with a bottle the next time he wakes up so I at least get 2-3 hours of straight sleep. Once I get that I find I'm able to function a bit better at 3:00 and 5:00 and 7:00 when Coop is hungry. You're right it helps soooo much.

How long did you end up breastfeeding for??? I'm trying to stick it out 3 months and then see what happens after that but apparently it gets easier later on? I think I'll believe it when I see it!!! :)

The pounds will come off especially since your breast feeding, I think you look adorable with you surrounded there on your walk with your lovies! Don't worry about getting things done it will all be there when you have more time which believe it or not will come sooner than you think!

2012-05-17T17:16:04.017-04:00

STOP LYING SARAH! Those are not XLs. :) Well, I got you beat by 20 pounds. My 5' 6" 140 lb frame went to 200 lbs!!!!! Don't worry though. That weight will come off soon, but probably not until you are done with breastfeeding.

Aw man, I didn't win the giveaway?! Bummer!!!

OMG, you look so cute and happy in that picture on the walk!!! Yes, breastfeeding is exhausting! And it made my back hurt, my wrists sore from holding her, it is hard...but worth it if you can stick it out. After 2 months (when you supposedly don't have to worry about "nipple confusion" anymore, we started giving her a bottle at the last feeding right before bed (and I nursed for every other feeding). My husband actually gave her the bottle and put her down to bed, it was good bonding time for them and the break for me was huge!!! You kinda have to look at caring for this baby as your gig/complete reason for existence/whole world for the next few months, don't get down on yourself about other things not getting done. Love that shot of him on Dad's chest!

enjoy those snuggle moments ~ they end to quickly. And who says forest green and hot pink don't go together? You look great for having just had a baby.
