Big

I had my baby on Thursday. He weighed 9 lbs. 6 oz. and was 21 1/2" long. For my 5'2" frame, that was quite the haul I was carrying around!! We're still in the hospital due to the c-section and some feeding issues with the baby (I can't nurse because of some medicine I have to take...for the rest of my life, and the formula isn't staying down well). But, as soon as I recover, I'm back with the HWHL program. Looking forward to it!!

  2. Congratulations Jenn! Oh my, that is one big boy from one small momma. Hope that they find just the right milk for your brand spanking new not so wee baby. I think you have to post a picture and at least a first name for this wee baby, otherwise we'll just call him Jenn's baby boy forever.,

  4. Wow! Congratulations! I hope to see pictures soon. C-sections suck! (at least I really hated mine).
    Hope your recovery goes well. I look forward to getting to know you better. :)

    Babyhood is the only time of life where fat cheeks makes you cuter.

  9. Yes, we love fat baby pictures!!

    P.S. C-sections are no fun. I've had 3 of them. I think the most important thing, mentally/emotionally/psychologically after having a baby is to not be hard on yourself about keeping up with things. It's just gonna be rough for a while, and practically everything will fall through the cracks. But soon, maybe in a few months, things will start to regulate themselves and you'll be back to where you want to be.
