The First Month- Getting To Know You




The first few weeks have been exhausting! Luckily, Pete was able to be home for the first week. Peter is breastfeeding which was not as easy as I thought it might be. I was hardly able to wear a shirt my boobs were so sore! A lactation consultant came out to the house to check on us and be sure he was latching well (which he was) and she basically told me that it will hurt for a couple weeks. It sucked...LITERALLY! Our first visits to the pediatrician proved that he was gaining weight so we know that he's eating enough! He was up to 9 lbs. 14 oz. at his 1 month appt. Must be my miracle milk!
Other than eating, sleeping, and pooping Peter is not doing too much. We have been out a few times. I ventured out on my own to Target, Stop and Shop, and Babys R Us but he slept through the whole trip which is actually best!
