I had my postpartum checkup today and everything is looking good! In fact, I already went to the gym tonight, haha. Hopefully that can be a regular occurrence so I can fit back into my old jeans. It is sad how large my butt got during pregnancy. I really really really want to wear my Levi's again. Plus all of my skirts that don't have that forgiving elastic waistband.
Also, I am happy to report that the bed time schedule I implemented for Eli last week is starting to pay off. Starting somewhere between 8:30-9:00 pm we give him his bath. After that I feed him and burp him, and then we read a book. Granted, Eli does not care that I am reading a book but it is something I plan on making a part of his bedtime routine for as long as he lets me. After the book I give him his pacifier and lay him in bed (still awake). Then I turn out the light and turn on his slumber buddy. He is generally asleep within a half hour on his own!
Hopefully bragging about it won't jinx our system because he's slept really well initially (4 hours) after being put to bed. The problem begins after the first middle-of-the-night feeding. We'll work on that later.
