Gaining Weight and Not Sleeping!

Ok, so that's a bit of an exaggeration - he sleeps plenty, just not at night when we'd like him to! He tends to fuss after he eats (indigestion, maybe?) and that makes for some restless nights. He's eating more and more and it shows - at his appointment today he's up to 6lbs 8oz - a half pound since last week! Definitely reassuring that he's growing and eating well.

Getting a good meal from Grannie

My mom ("Grannie") is here to help me out while Scott is back at work this week. It's been nice being able to take showers semi-regularly, nap on occasion, and just generally not feel like I'm 100% fending for myself during the day.

Napping with Grannie

We're working on shifting to more nursing and fewer bottles for feeding, but I'm worried my milk supply isn't quite up to the challenge yet. So far I haven't fallen behind but I've got less of a stockpile than I'm used to, so it just makes me a little concerned. I picked up some brewer's yeast and flax seed meal, so I'll be baking some lactation cookies this weekend for sure!

I'm amused that even though my stomach has basically shrunk back to normal (ish) size, I still have the linea negra - wondering how long until it fades, or if it ever will!

Anyway... hoping for some better sleep tonight (yeah, that's probably wishful thinking).
