13 days

I went to the OB today because I think I came down with a UTI last week. It appears to be clearing up but the DR gave me antibiotics anyway to help since I can still feel a little pain. The most amazing thing about the appt was that I'm below my pre-pregnancy weight! They had me down at 134 before pregnancy and as low as 129 when I was losing weight puking through the first trimester. Today, I weighed 131.9! WOW! I guess I didn't really gain much weight--it was all baby, placenta, goop inside my uterus and water weight which apparently has all gone away. Needless to say, I'm not exercising so it must be the breastfeeding. Nursing is going better but is harder at night. She isn't doing a great job of opening her mouth as much as we think she should, esp not consistantly. Of course she did a great job when Grandma Dibby was over last night but we're continuing to work on it. I cry a lot at night when it doesn't go well, totally out of frustration b/c I'm leaking everywhere and she's so hungry. It will get better I keep telling myself.

I need a haircut! I should be getting one this afternoon.
