I still can't believe I gave birth and that I did it without pain relief etc. The whole process just amazes me and I would love to go through it again. It is very, very hard, pelvis pain, tiredness, hip pain, bad back, mood swings, feeling sick, uncomfortable, swollen everything, weight gain, stretch marks, not sleeping, sore boobs, hair growth, etc etc but to feel that little new life moving about and then seeing what you created just out weighs all the negatives.
Leo has now outgrown the sponge liner of his comfy chair so I have taken it out and he looks so much better now.
He is comfortably in all his 3-6 month vets, grows and outfits although some 0-3 outfits still fit him.
He is very dribbley just like Ellis so I had to relent and put a bib on him the other day.
We went to the health visitor today and he was weighed at 13lb 10 1/2oz, which is just above the 50% line. He is doing really well and the health visitor said keep up the good work with the breastfeeding.
I asked the HV about the scaly skin on his head which I thought was cradle cap. She could hardly see it so said that I should leave it for now but if it got worse, to use olive oil on it. I'm hoping it will just go on its own.
He had his 2nd set of jabs today and he obviously didn't like it but settled down quite quickly after it was done. Next time it is 3 injections! That is the worst one. Thankfully he wont remember it.
Well I did weight this morning and I was actually quite happy with the result. So happy in fact that I probably ruined it all by having cake, chocolate brownie and a Whole Nut, oops!
Measurements:
Weight = 12st 6lbs (-5lbs from 4 weeks ago)
Tummy = 93cm (-2cm in 4 weeks)
Upper arm = 29cm
Upper leg = 62cm (-1.5cm in 4 weeks)
Ankle = 24cm
Neck = 33cm
Still a long way to go to get back to what I was and to improve my fitness.
A couple of pictures of Ellis at 12 weeks.
