I slept a whopping 6 hours last night!\u00a0 (split into two 3 hours chunks)\u00a0 So far Jack is doing pretty good with our routine and I’m feeling a lot better than I did the last couple days.\u00a0 But I won’t throw any confetti yet.
<\/a>
I went to a free lactation support group this morning, followed by a “Survival for New Moms” group.\u00a0 They meet weekly for just $5, you get to have a lesson, talk to the nurses, and meet other new moms.\u00a0 Today we learned infant massage.\u00a0 I learned some tummy swooping moves that are supposed to be good for digestion.\u00a0 While practicing Jack let out some good poop, so I guess they work!\u00a0 I’ll have to try them the next time he gets fussy from gas.\u00a0 I talked with a couple other girls about our boys and cloth diapering (it seems to be the hot topic among mothers these days).\u00a0 Jack was the youngest baby by 3 weeks. Not sure if I’ll go regularly, but it’s a nice option to have around.\u00a0 They were a nice group and I signed up for their e-mail list.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

By the way, I need to pat myself on the back for going to this group.\u00a0 This required getting up at SEVEN AM to get myself showered and dressed and Jack ready to go out the door by 9:20.\u00a0 And I wore MASCARA and EARRINGS.\u00a0 Like a normal adult woman.\u00a0 Alright, alright, I admit it.\u00a0 I wore my maternity stretch jeans.\u00a0 They are just too comfy! At least I wore real pants and a button-up shirt instead of sweat pants and a T shirt.\u00a0 Also, I had to talk to STRANGERS in a casual, friendly-type way.\u00a0 Pat pat pat pat.<\/p>\n

<\/a>During the lactation support portion (which is free!) they weighed Jack and looked at his latch.\u00a0 He’s still hurting me, we think he’s just squishing down his mouth too hard while sucking.\u00a0 We weighed before and after feedings and determined he ate about 3.5 ounces, a good amount for his size.\u00a0 His weight was 9 pounds 8 ounces – finally got back to his birth weight and then some!<\/p>\n

(This second picture shows how he was fascinated by the fluorescent lights during the group.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
