Long time, no type

6 weeks ago I had my baby girl:) I can't believe it's been long she's getting so old. But at the same time it seems like forever ago that I had her.

She's doing really well. She has been sleeping 6 hours every night for a lil over a week now. But since she's been sleeping so long, she's been wanting to eat every 2 hrs during the day. So needless to say it's very hard to do anything during the day. It seems like all I do is breastfeed all day long. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy breastfeeding most of the time but it takes alot of time and alot of planning if we ever go anywhere. I have a nursing cover but I'm too nervous about actually nursing in public even if it's just in front of friends and family. So every time I nurse I go somewhere private... It can get old.

I'm trying to decide what to do about feeding when I go back to work. I've been trying to pump some now but it doesn't seem like it's gonna be enough to feed her when I'm not with her. I'm sure I'll be able to pump more when I'm not around her. But idk
Part of me doesn't even want to try to pump because I'll have enough to worry about. I'll be working 7am-4:30pm, with an hour commute and I'll have to worry about getting Char up and dropped off at my mom's. I'll be busy busy. But that's not too much to handle, moms handle more than that everyday.

Speaking of busy moms, I'm realizing that it's hard being a stay at home mom. I'm not sure how they get anything done. I'm sure I'll get better at being productive, it'll just take time.

Me and Char had doctors appointments Tuesday and we both look great. I'm healing well and Charlotte is growing. She's 12 lbs now. Wow big girl.

That's all for now. I'll try to be a better blogger in future:)

  2. We LOVED seeing you and Miss Charlotte yesterday! I'm a little jealous of the 6 hrs because I think we went months getting up every 4 hours! You'll definitely be able to pump lots more when she's w/ your Mom, but it'll be hard pumping everytime she would normally nurse! Do whatever is best for you and Charlotte! Also, being a SAHM gets MUCH easier when they become a little more independent. Glad you and Charlotte are both doing so well!!!
