Three good things for Tuesday, November 4th:
1. My baby is one week old! As is every age and every milestone with kids, this makes me both happy and sad. I know that as time passes, everything will get easier - the balancing of two kids, nursing, night times, etc., but he's the last newborn I'll ever have (unless I can seduce Jeff.... errrrr, I mean talk him into having a third - which is about as likely as Carter sitting through an entire meal at the table and eating everything on his plate). It already feels like it's going too fast and like so many other moms, I just want my new baby to stay this miniature forever.
2. Grayson had his first official outing today. Destination: Nana and Pepe's house. We went for supper and the food, company, and cuddles with the boys were fantastic. We also took our first official picture as a family of four. Yes, I should have done it the first night, but I didn't. Anyway, I love that I'm feeling well enough to leave the house. I'll tell you, this was not the case with Carter. I remember at four weeks post partum, making a doctor's appointment with the delivering doctor because I was worried that I wasn't healing properly because I still had to be very, very conscious of how I sat down. I distinctly remember getting into my car to drive to that doctor's appointment and very gingerly getting into the driver's seat. At one month people. ONE MONTH.
3. My belly is smaller at this point post partum than it was at this point post partum with Carter. I don't really stress too much about what my stomach looks like after having a baby. I know it will go down and I also know that it will never look exactly how it looked pre-baby. There's no question that your post partum body requires some adjusting, and this adjustment can be harder for some women than others; I'm just one of those women who doesn't find the adjustment particularly hard -- at least not yet. Either way, I'm not unhappy that my belly is smaller than it was at one week post partum with Carter :)
