7 weeks!!

It's unbelieveable. My lil snuggle bug is 7 wks old. I returned to work this week, the first night gone was quite rough on mama, and come to find out, Zach wasnt very into the idea either. Adam tells me later in the night that he bawled for about 10 mins after I had left, I in turn thanked him for making me feel even more guilty. LoL I think daddy is having fun with him, but finally realizing that it isnt as easy as he thinks trying to get things done around the house while someone wants to be entertained at all hours. He has inlisted in having the kids feed him what I have pumped while he tries to make dinner. Hee Hee Hopefully he will now see me in a different light now and appreciate what I do get done.

On a different note, things are going pretty well here. Zach has his first ear infection, poor bub. He has had 2 doses of Rocephin shots for it so far, and will return back to the dr today. He was last seen on Monday when he clocked in at 11 pounds!! We shall see how chunky he has ballooned to today. We are also making an appt to see a pediatric surgeon for his belly button hernia. As you can see in his slideshow pictures, it looks like he has a golf ball under his skin. Nate also had this, but did not require surgery. Hopefully that is the case with Zach too.

As for me, I have lost all my pregnancy weight that I had gained. Now I am working on Abbie's baby weight. LoL Im hoping with my MSPI diet and now back to work it will start melting off. My goal is to get to my "ideal weight" by my 30 birthday....which is in July......the countdown begins!

Our LiL Chunk!!

Well, Zach's lil reflux episodes warrented another trip to the dr. this am for a checkup. They weighed him again today and he went from 8lbs 14oz last week to 9lbs 11 1/2 oz today! That is almost a pound in less than a week!! They changed his meds to see if that will help. He is such a solid little boy. I cant believe he is over a month already! How time flies!!!
