Today marks Cedric's third week of life outside of the womb. Zach and I are feeling more like "parents." The first couple of days we definitely shared the feeling that any minute the real parents would show up and thank us for doing such a good job and take over from here.
Cedric's two week pediatrician visit went well. He now weighs 11lbs 4oz and his head is 38cm. I apologize because I forget how long the doctor said he was...but it was longer than his birth length (22.5 inches). So far he's a healthy, happy and fat baby.
My first OBGYN visit since having Cedric was a bit more exciting. I've lost 30lbs so far, which is pretty encouraging I've got to tell you. The next 20 make take awhile to loose but somehow it doesn't seem as daunting. The nurse practitioner that I saw recommended that I buy a girdle. To which my response was "They still make girdles?" I decided to try Elisa's recommendation and try Spanx instead. The NP also reassured me that when I was done having kids I could have a tummy tuck and everything would be all better again. Now the Laura of a few years ago would have turned her nose up at the mere mention of cosmetic surgery - but post-natal Laura found the suggestion reassuring. I'm not really sure how to explain the change of heart. Perhaps my vanity runs deeper than I thought.
