Sawyer is walking!, Compelling Documentary, Baby Weight
Sawyer started walking all by himself, with no support 3 days ago! I am such a proud Mama right now! My little baby is growing more independent every day. Am I really ready for this? It is so funny and a bit surreal to see him walking around the house.
I just finished watching, "The Business of Being Born", a very compelling documentary about how profits are driving the business of birthing. I loved it! I got choked up seeing Ricki Lake and Mayra give birth, especially Ricki. It made me want to relive Sawyer's birth. The film talked a lot about midwifery. Having gone to a midwife my entire pregnancy and beyond, I am a huge supporter of going that route!
For months now, I've been struggling to lose the last 20 lbs of baby weight. No matter what I do, short of starving myself, the weight just won't come off. My midwife says it's because I'm breastfeeding. Although you hear mostly about how breastfeeding supposedly helps you lose weight, this isn't true for any of the women I know. They've all said that the weight didn't come off until after they stopped breastfeeding. So, there might be hope yet that I will eventually return to my pre-pregnancy size of 2. It's all worth it though and I don't plan on giving up breastfeeding anytime soon.
I have a ton of new pictures to post of Sawyer tomorrow or later this week.
