So poor little Finn has developed a pretty nice case of baby acne! The poor girl looks like she is a 13 year old who doesn't know to wash their face every day. It does bother her and I'm trying to NOT let it bother me. I just miss my precious little girl's smooth skin... It'll come back soon -- this I know.
Last night, we officially moved her into her crib at night. AND we started to let her fall asleep by herself. I rocked her until she was practically asleep and then placed her in her crib. She woke up slightly and I tried to shush her to sleep. It was SOOOO hard to not pick her up again. She was super content, just laying there in her crib -- so we went into our room. But we had the video monitor on and could hear her every peep, which made me feel better. There were definitely a lot of tears shed (on my part -- not hers). E kept telling me that she was doing wonderful -- being 5 weeks old and starting to soothe herself to sleep very successfully. Just another instance in the last couple of days that my baby isn't tiny anymore. God, I'm in for a LONG haul...
On my postpartum front, I've lost 28 pounds of the 45 that I gained during my pregnancy. And I haven't started exercising again yet -- YEAH for breastfeeding! I also realized that I shouldn't have washed my pre-pregnancy jeans before I put them away, as they are NOWHERE near close to fitting. I've got at least two inches left to lose around my middle and I feel super flabby. I can't wait for my 6 week checkup with Emery so he can release me to start some serious exercise regimen. I need it -- I won't have anything to wear pretty soon. I can only feel comfortable wearing yoga pants and my maternity shirts for so long! 17 pounds to lose!!!
