5 Weeks Postpartum

     It's been 5 weeks now! This week I lost 1 pound again so now I have lost a total if 29 pounds and I have 11 more to go! This week I ran/walked 1 mile and just walked 1 mile! I did my arm workout and abs Mon-Thur and on Mon I did a leg workout! Holy smokes! I was soooo sore I could only do it on Monday after that this whole week I have been dying! But I am finally not sore so this coming week I'm going to try and do it twice! My goal is to hopefully lose atleast another pound! I think these last 11 pounds are going to take awhile! But as long as I am losing a pound a week I am happy with that!

4 Weeks Postpartum

 I can't believe Deacom is 1 month today! I am feeling great! Unfortunately, weight loss is starting to slow down. I lost 1 pound this week. So I have lost a total of 28 pounds now! I am not really pumping much anymore but I do have Deacon breastfeed first and then I usually always have to give him formula afterwards. I will probably return my pump that I rented from the hospital this week. I have the okay to start running now so I am super excited to start back tomorrow! Hopefully, being able to exercise will help me lose the 12 pounds I need to lose to get back to my pre pregnancy weight!

3 Weeks Postpartum

I didn't realize till just now that my 2 weeks postpartum didn't upload! It has been 3 weeks now! I'm feeling great except I think I may have a urinary tract infection! I was able to get some medicine which helped and I go to the doctor this week! As far as weightloss I lost 3 pounds this week so I have lost a total of 27 pounds! I still have 13 pounds to go! This week I walked on the treadmill 2 miles Mon-Thur and I lifted some very light weights for my arms on those days. As far as breastfeeding I am now able to pump about 2 ounces in one setting but Deacon now seems to want more than two ounces so I am still supplementing with formula! Deacon's 2 week appointment was this week and he now weighs 9.1 pounds! It hard to believe Dacen weighed more than that when he was born!

2 Weeks Postpartum

     I can't believe Deacon is already 2 weeks! Things are going great! I am feeling really good and healing great! It's been alot faster recovery with this pregnancy! As far as weightloss I lost 10 pounds this week so I have lost a total of 22 pounds since delivery. I still have 16 more pounds to lose to be at my pre-pregnancy weight. As far as breastfeeding it's going pretty good! My milk has increased from 1 ounce when I pump to 2 ounces! I bought some Fenugreek pills at GNC today to see if that will help with my milk supply. Deacon has been latching on great and the more I nurse him the more I think it helps with my milk supply. I am really surprised I am able to breastfeed with Deacon since I wasn't able to with Dacen because my milk never came in. I am however still supplementing with formula since he take about 2 1/2 to 3 ounces per feeding now!
