the darn numbers
hii i am a scale junkie and i weigh around 14o currently 139 and i am only 5,3 and am almost 4 months pp. i think that i look okay but i hate hate HATE weighing so much. I know that it is partly b/c i am breast feeding adn i need the weight for his food but darn it with my first i lost the weight so much faster.
i am on holidays with my mom who still has the opportunity to exercise and although i am swimming ( in the lake) and chasing a toddler everyday i wish i was able to run. i have a nanny but i dom't know her well enough to leave my kids alone with her. i guess i should enjoy the days off exercise. oh, did i mention that my mom is very skinny adn has an ed? oh, at least when my son had three melt downs ( ialso have a three month old) i removed myself from the situation adn did not get upset.
any way i guess it's a little rant, although i am in a good mood.
Good coffee...
p.s how do you know your baby is getting enough food??? he poops almost everyday and has a million pees and is growing...
thanks

You just answered your own question. :)
You can tell that babies are getting enough to eat if they are growing appropriately and having multiple wet and dirty diapers each day. It's hard to find info on an older infant getting enough to eat but, as always, KellyMom.com comes through to save the day!

Regarding the weight issue: I, too, am a numbers gal. As a matter of fact, I just journaled about it yesterday. Despite FEELING and LOOKING smaller, the number on the scale distorts my self-image. I'm about 5'3" and weigh 130-131 at 9 months postpartum. I'm in the healthy weight range and I know that once I'm finished breastfeeding I'll probably lose the last 15 pounds immediately but it's hard to accept myself as-is at this point.
Just try to enjoy the rest of your holiday and not worry about baby weight! :)
hi beir i would love to weigh 130 lbs you are right i am going to ignore the scale and enjoy my holidays. thanks:)
