day 5 going strong

today i walked a bit but not the normal across-downtown stroll.  i took pre to ralphs for a few things.  after that we went to the grove where i bought him some adorable pants.  nothing for me yet.  we went into jcrew and i got tempted to try a few things on but then i remembered what my body looks like right now and i decided not to.  i keep forgetting i'm no longer a size 2.  i like my body right now, it's just different from how i'm used to it.  my belly and but are big and soft.  i have large, squishy hips.  i think it's all part of being a new mom and that it is ok.  i just feel like i want to be ME again as well as a mom.


pre gets more personality every day.  it isn't like he one day stopped being a tiny crying or not crying infant.  it's more like a slow awakening.  i wonder who he'll be in a year?

last night i had worries about the diet.  i felt like my diet was compromising lactation.  my breasts normally get a little bigger and firmer in the night but last night they were sad, saggy boobs.  i felt like i might have to supplement his diet with stored breastmilk in the freezer but then i worried that my milk production would stay low and that his needs would increase.  i ate a little more today and he nursed a little longer than usual so we're back on track.
