We're still here!!

sorry! it's been a LOOOOOOONG while :) almost 3 weeks. In little man time, that's a third of his life.

We have been working HARD on his schedule and have made SUPER progress.
2 months old!!!

Little man
He's 9 weeks and 5 days old!!
We haven't weighed in since his 1 month ped appointment- but we go to the doctor tomorrow, so I will update at 10 weeks!
We will also learn how long he is, but he's been growing like a weed. We are already in the 3-6 month clothes.
This week we walked down to the store and went shopping.

Momma
So after depressing over my lack of weight loss, I pulled out a old "eat clean" diet cookbook and vowed to do it for 10 days. I lost 1 pound. 1 freaking pound. I was less than pleased.
I have given up on weight loss and decided on a new course:
Cardio 3x
HIIT 3x
Yoga 1-2x
No exercise 1x

and modified clean eating. so far so good. I actually lost 2 pounds! and now I am down 17 pounds and have ~5-7 to go.  I would really like to get down another 10 beyond that, but I would just be happy getting back into my jeans :)

I have to go back to work in three very VERY short weeks. ugh I am dreading it. I need to figure out what clothes fit and what don't fit.

7 weeks :)

Little man is over 1.5 months old! time is flying. We have been pretty hectic lately so I missed a few postings :( bad momma

Charlie-Man
at his 1 month check up little man:
10 pounds (up 4 from birth)
22 inches long (up 2 from birth)
15 inches head (up 3 from birth)

We have had a few regressions with his reflux and dairy but I think we are getting it under control! No dairy and little man is on prevacid for his reflux. Our insurance mega sucks so we've been doing a ghetto method with adult pills and apple juice.

Momma
sleep is good sometimes and bad sometimes.
Still at the same damn weight. kinda upset that I am still 10-13 pounds up. I would love to just see the scale budge a tiny bit :( very frustrating.

We are working on the baby-wise sleep method. I feel like we are slightly behind- at 6.5/7 weeks he is barely sleeping 5 hours at night. Here is our tentative schedule plan:

night 11:30 PM
early morning 5 AM
morning 8:30 AM
early afternoon 12 PM
afternoon 3 PM
early evening 6 PM
evening 8 PM

That is pretty on par with baby-wise. I think our eventual goal is to remove the 5am feeding. We are currently on day 3 of the schedule. We are trying to follow the wake-feed-play-nap schedule. It didn't work so smooth yesterday, but we were great on Wednesday and so far so good today.
