Week 2


Week two was kinda hell for me. Not because of Veer, but because I broke out all over my legs, thighs and feet. My mom was making me drink this special drink that helps heal the body and also produces more breast milk. The drink was too warm for my body and I broke out. It was so itcy and dry that at times I wanted to cut my legs off. I talked to Hetal about it and she said she knows two other people who have also had the same reaction to this special drink. I was relieved to know there was a solution for the break out. I initially thought it was the sheets, and then I thought it was the comforter, and then I thought maybe it was the laundry detergent. A thousand different things ran thru my mind. It took over a week for the bumps and breakout to disappear and now during week 3 it’s almost gone. I would have photographed that too but it was too gross even for me to take a picture of and then post here. You’ll just have to imagine it. Think hives- and now picture that all over my legs, feet, thighs. 

Other than that, I was glad to have bladder control back. Physically i was still a little weak, but i'm still able to move around. I get tried in the evening but that's expected. I am getting used to Veer and his habits. He’s a pretty normal baby so far. Sleeps thru the night for the most part, wakes up ever 3 hours for a feeding. Sometimes he does want to play in the middle of the night and that’s a little tough because I want to sleep. He’s lucky he’s so darn cute, or else I would have to be mad at him.

The Belly Bandit is really helping. I've lost about 20 pounds. I would love to lose about 20-30 more. I look like i am about 6 months pregnant. My outie is once again a innie.
