Lilian and I had a doctor’s appointment on Monday (one of the advantages of sharing a doctor). She’s doing really well. She now weighs ten pounds and ten ounces. My baby is getting so big!<\/p>\n

(I now have a newfound respect for women who birth 10+ pound babies).<\/p>\n

If there’s one good thing about all of the health problems that I had during my pregnancy, it’s that we now know every single person who works at my doctor’s office. Verrrrry well. Probably a little too<\/em> well. And they all just love Lilian to pieces. So, we never have to wait long for an appointment. They coo over her for a bit and then quickly put us in an exam room.<\/p>\n

VIP status at the doctor’s office isn’t exactly impressive, but we live a quiet life these days. I’ll take my fun where I can get it.<\/p>\n

I have now been officially weighed. It’s less than two hundred pounds<\/a>, but still far from my starting weight. Which was already slightly higher than my ideal weight. I know what they say – nine months on, nine months off. But, I probably need to lose 15-20 pounds in order to fit into my work clothes, six weeks from now.<\/p>\n

Why do I need to fit into my original work clothes, you ask? (Ok, maybe you didn’t ask… but I am still answering). They’re my clothes and I like wearing them. More importantly, they’re moderately expensive clothes (I’m expected to dress up for work) and I’m not getting another paycheck until mid-November.<\/p>\n

Even with the extra 500 calories a day that I burn from breastfeeding, losing five pounds a week is probably not that realistic. I have a sneaking suspicion that Lilian and I will be doing some bargain shopping in late October.<\/p>\n

But, hey, it’s all worth it. I get to spend my mornings having coffee out on the sunporch with my favorite munchkin.<\/p>\n
