10 days after birth

We made it through the first week! Nina is doing great! She sleeps anywhere from 2-4 hours. Last night she had two stretches of 4 hours so we got a fair amount of sleep. Thank god, because I was starting to lose it.

I have 3 pounds to go before I'm at my pre-baby weight. I lost all weight gain with Jack after 2 weeks as well. I never really lost my belly pooch with Jack but now that I'm done having babies, I really want to work on firming up my belly. We have been talking about losing weight but now is the time to actually get it done. My appetite is back so I can actually focus on eating healthier.

Jack is finally starting to come around to his little sister. He won't hold her or really come near her but is concerned when she cries and tries to give Nina her binky. Jealousy is staring to creep in. Yesterday Jack made me put Nina in the swing so that he could curl up in a tiny ball in my lap. He hasn't done that in a while and I was more than happy to cuddle with my monster of a boy child.

Perspective has changed. Jack is seemingly huge now. Two weeks ago he was a smallish toddler. He weighed nothing. His head was light and fit right in the notch on my shoulder. When I came home from the hospital, he was a giant. He weighs a ton, has a giant, solid "big boy" head, and his diapers are enormous. He is a big kid now. I have heard my friends discuss this strangeness but it was trippy to experience it from my own baby!
