How is everyone??

Glad things are going so well! You are better than me, I can't even fathom going back to work yet and I am supposed to in about 3 weeks.
Tristan is doing good since he was released from the NICU.

I was just thinking about you and wondering why you aren't on Facebook. That's where we all are and it's great! I feel like I have a huge support group and some budding friendships.

I'm so jealous of you! Sounds like you're doing awesome!

I'm incredibly happy and miserable at the same time if that makes sense. I am so happy with my family but the nights are almost unbearable. Bentley is up every two hours which means I'm getting 3 or 4 one hour naps a night. I'm grumpy as hell. I started working out 2 weeks pp and I'm getting really discouraged. I only gained 27 lbs and I'm still hanging on to 12 as well. I don't understand. I feel gross.

Its good to hear from you Whitney!! I'm sorry to hear your little man isn't sleeping well at night Sounds like he is like my first, she kept me up all night long. Carley seems to be our calm, mellow baby which is nice since Kaeden was super rough. I sure hope Bentley gets easier soon, one month down already so hopefully your atleast 1/3 of the way done with the super hard part!

I tried working out soon after delivery and honestly there was no way until 3 1/2 weeks pp...must have been my blood loss because I just couldn't handle it but now I'm back and even though weightloss has slowed its about a pound every 4 days atleast its still coming off. I just stopped breastfeeding a week ago and my boobs are starting to look normal again (I wasn't producing) so I'm hoping I drop a few more this next week. Sure sounds like we are a lot alike so I'm sure we'll both be down our weight soon, its just that we are impatient!

As for facebook.........my husband was deployed to Afghanistan for a year (got back last July) and during that deployment some girls got super nasty on facebook and super fake. They used facebook to stalk people and be nosy about others lives and I honestly just got sick of it. Since I was home alone with a 2 year old I'd dwell on the FB drama at night when I couldn't sleep so I just decided to take that stress out of my life and I got off facebook. I do miss it but not sure that I'd want to get back on....lately I have been wanting too just cuz everyone deserted this board though! I'm glad you still check this site though cuz I've been thinking of you! My email is lindy.hopp@yahoo.com if you want to shoot me a note!

Things are good here, had to go back to work 4weeks pp because it's all we could afford unfortunately, so between 3 kids and full time job, I'm busy and exhausted.

Bentley isn't a good sleeper but he's a really sweet baby. He doesn't cry much and he's calm.. He's just a pig! I wanted to brag on him a little because at least he's not really fussy. Zach didn't sleep and cried non stop so in comparison this is a walk in the park. I'm praying he stays this way I don't think I could take another colicky baby.


And I was jut saying how accomplished I feel at the end of everyday because I made it through another 24 hours... Lol I don't at all want to wish this time away but each day I one step closer to things being easier.
