thankful for all the support i had while lee was gone to portugal last week. makes me realize how much easier it would be if it were like the olden days when families lived next door to each other or with each other. makes so much sense when you have little ones. so hard - almost impossible to do it alone.
praise God for his help.
phoebe is 4 weeks old today!
daffodils are blooming - started blooming at the end of february - seems early to me but love it. can't wait for daylight savings time next weekend - we can have evening walks again. looking forward to getting the rest of this baby weight off. i'm nursing and i feel like i have to eat all the time. need to get smart about my snacks. made some trail mix today. it's hard, cuz most of the time i get really hungry at about 3 or 4 in the morning whenever i get up to feed phoebe. have to eat something or i can't get back to sleep. but i have to be careful about what i eat - has to be something that won't keep me up. larabars are so yummy, but keep me up after i eat them. think they are intended to give energy so that would make sense. any good ideas for middle of the night snacks for a nursing mom?
phoebe gets up 2 or 3 times between 11:00pm and 8:00am.
I'm so glad you have support, especially so soon after having a baby. It is so hard to do it alone when hubby isn't home. Believe me, I know! I found that eating some yogurt just before bed helped me to get thru the night w/out eating during the night. And drinking LOTS of water!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe she's already 4 weeks old!
peanut butter crackers?
ReplyDeletei will def. try the yogurt. peanut butter is good too. i know one time i ate a few bites of cottage cheese and that worked well. sometimes i wish i had an IV pumping water into me all the time.
ReplyDeletethat reminds me ~ cottage cheese and corn chips (the scoops kind). Scoop the cottage cheese on the chip and you only have to eat a few. Very filling and a complex carb.
