that's the verdict from my 6 week appointment the other day. no sex- still not healed. other than that everything is going great. we seem to have rounded the 6 week corner. little girl slept last night from 11-1:30, 2-3:30, then straight through until 7. at 7 she literally ate for 5 minutes & went right back to sleep until 9. it was blissful! of course- the milk was all still there for her- making me quite uncomfortable when we both woke up at 9! she had a full meal & i still had to pump about 3 oz to be comfortably empty again!
the mother-in-law is here for the week... she thinks caiden hates her because she either cries or fusses every time she holds her. i'm sure she's only partially really thinking that & i'm sure it's not true, but somehow it does feel really awesome that my daughter prefers me. it's one of those landmark moments i used to dream of- having my baby be comforted by the fact that i am mommy. it's an amazing feeling. but thankfully caiden will go to anyone who will walk around with her so i can shower & have some me time. it's pretty much why the mil is here. well- that and to make some oatmeal cookies (she's doing that now!) yum!
i am really hoping that the 2 hour feeds are behind us. i don't mind 2-1/2 hours during the day, but if she can start having a four hour (or more!) stretch during the night that would just be heaven! i know that after every constant feed portion of a growth spurt there is some exta sleepiness for the growing to actually happen. i just hope she can stretch it out a little more from now on...
since the mil is here & then our friends are visiting next weekend- i will not be on much to post- but i will have to get on at some point to post the latest pics... including an elusive toothless grin! i just need to find he cord to download them!

My son only liked me for the first year, and screamed like he was being tortured when my dad held him. My dad's feelings were really hurt because he wanted a grand son for so long.
But is was like the day DS turned 1, he was Grandpa's #1 Main Best Buddy from that moment on. Still to this day, DS just LOVES his grandpa - and says sometimes he loves him more than he loves me (lol) it doesnt hurt my feelings, I know where his true feelings are. He does just ♥ his g-pa.
Yes-Yes!! Post thos pic's soon!!
I'm having Caiden Withdrawls!!
Wow! What a great stretch of sleep for such a wee one! And I totally hear you on the fullness issue. I still feel engorged sometimes in the morning, but it is never as bad as it was in those early weeks. Your body will really level out sometime between now and 3 months. And you'll look and feel smaller and more comfortable:)
And, yes, it is nice to be the center of someones world. D. has become very mama-centric the last few weeks. And while I love it - it can be a little exhausting:)
More pics of the girl pllllllease!
