Due Date

Today is my due date.  Hard to believe it has only been 3 weeks since giving birth.  It feels like an eternally since being pregnant.  Maybe it is because the pregnancy went by so fast, or that I was so scared, or that it was my last, but it feels like those 8 months hardly even happened.

I am enjoying being on bedrest now, though I still have a few more weeks before I can lift things again.  I have recovered very well from the surgery, my feet are no longer swollen and I am only 10lb left to lose until I am back to prepregnancy weight, though it may be longer before my pants fit good again.

It is also such a nice relief to have such an easy baby that only eats and sleeps and never spits up like dd1 did.  Of course it would be easier if she would bf, since I am still doing the bottle feeding and pumping.  Of course part of it is my fault now for not even attempting to put her to breast, but I am just too tired to add in another step to the process. 

Tomorrow we are going to get pictures done - 3 year birthday pictures for dd1 and newborn pics of the baby, as well as Easter pics of the 2 of them.  Hopefully things go pretty smoothly, but since how the past year has gone with dd1, I doubt it.

Oh and the baby is now over 7lb and as of last week has grown 1/4 inch in length.  We are still wearing preemie clothes though and some smaller newborn stuff.  At least she is getting use out of the clothes.
