rootofnewtThe beach was great. I kinda miss having an extra two pairs of hands. I got a lot of reading done that week, which was a wonderful luxury.
I spend most of my days out and about. I wear Ronan, so I hover between a dehydration headache and happiness. Actually, I'm always happy, despite the everpresent headache and sciatica pain. Ronan likes to MOVE constantly, so that's what we do. I've got my weight holding steady (145) and am thinking of switching to whole milk from half/half. I don't want it to drop again right now--finally got most of the detox sores healed, though I have a couple left on my breasts and they itch like mad. The skin is just so thin that nothing heals properly.
Pretty soon, the child will have more clothing than I do. Seems his grandmas enjoy shopping. I should go cull newborn sizes from his drawers, I suppose, but I'm so tired. My fibro is in a worse flare than usual and it's really hard to do anything beyond nurse the babe and surf the net. Poor boy has to step in and do the walking about the house with R because I just can't put more pressure on my hips/lower back after doing it at the market/downtown/stores.
I think Ronan is somwhere around 13 pounds now. I weighed him on the antique baby scale while he was lightly dressed and he was 13lb4+oz, so 13ish is probably close. I've noticed that my mom-friends with heavier babies are starting to get toned biceps--I won't say no to that. ;)
Just took a writing break to put away a load of R's laundry. I need to reorganize his bureau, but that will wait. I also need to finish culling my wardrobe. I've put all the pregnancy clothing I didn't wear/never fit into a pile. I also need to cull old sheets. All destined for goodwill or the rag pile. I'm not throwing out my shirts that don't fit up top just yet, but I am putting them away in a bin. I'm pretty much only wearing jeans and superthin Old Navy tshirts these days. I don't know what I'll do come wintertime. I reallyreallyreally need a bra that fits. Last time I checked, my underbust was 33" and my largest measurement was 45-46". *sigh* I've been living in a Medela comfort bra, which generally leaves me saggy and lopsided, but doesn't compress. My Decent Exposures nursing bra compresses too much and I really don't want to order another, just to find that I really hate the fit. I need something that doesn't show with all my tops, dangit. And I freakin' hate mail order, or I'd have ordered a Fancee Free by now. I'm just afraid to order one only to find that it's made out of rubber, like many huge bras are.
I'll leave you with pictures of Ronan this week.
