9 Days Post Pregnancy







So here we are, I've made it past week one and into the second week of the craziness that is now my life. I thought I'd update everyone on how I am, as well as Bradley and Robby!! First lets start with how amazing it feels to have both of these boys in my life. I feel like they are everything I never knew I wanted and I am so blessed to have them. Robby has been sick on and off since baby was born, so they unfortunately haven't had a lot of bonding time. He isn't showing much interest in him yet, he has his moments of jealousy though. I was using a pillow of Robby's to rest Bradley on for a few short minutes till Robby started pulling at it. I moved the baby and Robby takes his pillow, hides it in his closet and shuts his bedroom door!! Cute but definitely trying to tell me something! He on occasion will "pet" Bradley's head or back which tickles my heart!! I am semi struggling with the guilt of not being able to split my time with the boys 50/50. Bradley nurses so often right now that it just is hard to do much with Robby although I do try to fit in some coloring or block building in between feedings. I hope he isn't feeling left out and I am just feeling what most moms do after a sibling is born??? 

Now on to the little one, he is so very pleasant to be around its ridiculous!! He sleeps so well at night, in fact I have to wake him up every 2-3hrs to make sure he is eating! I feel more rested than I thought I would which makes the days not so hard to handle. He is still in his "newborn" phase and doesn't do much of anything except sneak in a smile here and there, which is probably just gas but I'd like to think it's more than that. I still am in awe of his black hair and darker tone, we really did end up getting one child like me and one child like Robert!!



Post pregnancy body update, I look a lot thinner than I expected with this being my 2nd pregnancy. Everyone informed me how much harder it is to shed the pounds. I guess I have some awesome genes to thank for that! I don't know how far I am weight wise from my pre-pregnancy body. Its more about what you look like then what the numbers say anyways!! I am going to start doing half an hour or so on our elliptical just to speed up losing the rest. So I guess that's about it.... Now I'm just anxiously awaiting the cooler weather and the holiday season to start!! Hope everyone is having a great week!!
