It's been done

Yesterday, Micah had his vasectomy. So, as soon as they test and find that there are no more sperm, it means no more kiddos for us.

little man

is a bit over 2 weeks old now. He is doing great. Eating like a champ, gaining weight, being cute...

His big sister finally got to meet him last week.
aren't they cute?

28 pounds

That how much lighter I am now than I was at my last doctor's appointment before they baby was born. Which also puts me at 19 pounds lighter than when I got pregnant. And this is just shy of 2 weeks after having a baby!!!

Go me! Go me!!

Seriously, I need to keep this up. I need to lose about 1/2 of my total weight to be at a fairly healthy weight. And I am determined to do it.

owie

This morning, my abdomen started to hurt. Badly. So badly that when I took a hot shower to see if it would ease the pain some, I ended up curled almost into the fetal position in the bathtub, in tears. Called doc, she was out of the office until afternoon, so they sent me to the ER. I have endometritis. An infection in my uterus and fallopian tubes. Luckily, we caught it early so it should be easy to treat, and the antibiotics are nursing safe. But it hurts. A lot.

ouch ouch ouch

my boobs have swollen to the size of watermelons. I swear each one must weigh almost as much as Oscar. Definitely making PLENTY of milk. He is eating a ton, but supply is greatly exceeding demand.

I was supposed to take him to the doctor today, but we woke up to massive amounts of snow, requiring a couple of hours with a shovel to get the car out of the driveway. So we rescheduled.

Oscar Nathan March Rosen-Wolfe

was born on December 2 at 7:58 pm. He weighed 8 pounds 5.5 ounces and was 20 inches long. And has a head full of red hair.

And he is perfect and wonderful and amazing in every way.

tomorrow

I am being induced at 7:30 tomorrow morning. So by tomorrow evening my new little one should be here!

The doc wanted to do it yesterday, but the hospital was already booked with as many inductions for a day as they could take.

I am a little nervous. It's been 6 1/2 years since I have done this. Am I still going to be strong enough to do this without drugs? (besides the ones to induce, of course)
