Clever title, eh? I remember after I had Noah, I came home and just felt like a piece of me was missing (a baby bump!). Like... I missed being pregnant to the point of feeling sad. It was really weird. I attributed it to the baby blues. This time, I feel SO much better than I did after having Noah, physically and emotionally. I have no idea why. I was at home cooking dinner the day after giving birth and I felt awesome. It's just strange how the two compare so I figured I would write about it!
Anyway, Chloe had her first checkup this morning and it went great! She weighed in at 8 lbs, 4 oz, which they said was completely normal (7.5% below her birth weight).
Side note: I think it's safe to say our scale at home is less than accurate, lol - but at least using the same scale before and after a nursing session showed a 2 oz gain.
My milk definitely came in yesterday so from here, she should start to gain up to an ounce a day. She has been eating like a champ. We are going to go back for a nurse's visit just to get her weighed again on Thursday morning since I told them I was paranoid about having what happened with Noah happen with her! Everything looks good so far though. Also, her jaundice level was almost nonexistent and this is the point where it would be at its peak so that's good news, too!
So anyway, my pubic bone was killing me early this morning. I think it might have been the fact that I was in the same position for a long time and it was just putting too much stress on the same area. But I ended up Googling since I couldn't sleep and I guess that's a pretty common gripe after pregnancy. I didn't get it with Noah though... must be having two kids so close together did me in, lol. It should get back to normal with time. It doesn't bother me much during the day, at least.
