Sorry no posts in a while. Our lives pretty much consist of eating, sleeping, and changing diapers. Not much excitement.
Brockston is getting bigger and changing every day. He is definitely more alert and gives good smiles for us. I haven't mastered the art of getting him to smile and hold still long enough to get a good picture - Nate and I need to double team him and we'll hopefully get a good picture soon. He is getting on more of a schedule and sleeping better at night. He still only goes about 3-4 hours between feedings so we're not sleeping the whole night, but improvement is being made!
I had my surgery this week to remove the ginormous ovarian cyst that they found. (
See earlier post for explanation.) Everything went well and luckily they only had to remove the cyst and they were able to do it lapriscopic which meant I didn't have to stay overnight in the hospital. Unofficially I think that I lost about 10 lbs, but that's just on the bathroom scale that's not super
accurate. I am down to my prepregnacy weight but that does not mean that I am back in shape by any means. I still have a ways to go! It is encouraging though. Thanks to my mom for taking care of
Brockston for us. It was not easy being apart two nights, but it was good to get some sleep and let my body recover. Also thank heaven for pajama pants and maternity jeans because normal pants rub right on my incisions. I still have a little pain and it KILLS when I sneeze, but all in all we are doing well.
I promise I'll post more pictures soon, but the babe is getting hungry so I'd better run!
Brockston is getting so alert and he loves to smile and "talk/sing" to us. I don't think any if these pictures show it very well but he has the cutest little dimple on his right cheek. The pictures do show he has a twinkle in his eye when he's happy. I can't believe how quickly he is growing. Time flies! We've had 3 awesome nights in a row where he's slept for 6 hours or so! We'll take it. I just hope that he keeps it up!
