After The Newborn Wears Off

OK, so I have not blogged in a very long time. Shame on me. But, as many of you new moms know and you soon to be moms will soon find out, babies wear you out! My Nathanial is wonderful, of course, and that is why I chose to spend time with him over blogging! But, he is now going to bed around 9 pm and waking up anywhere betwen 4:00 - 7:00 am. Let me wrap up what has happened since the end of May:

1. I FINALLY got over the whole breastfeeding thing, let my milk dry up and am still recovering from the yeast infection in my breast. It's gone, for the most part, but I still have flare ups now and then. I'm having to take acidofilus tablets and supplements and cut WAY back on sugar, which is OK I guess since I have abou 20 lbs to lose (not baby weight, just weight!)
2. Nathanial's arm has definitely started showing signs of improvement with the Erb's Palsy. He is starting to raise it more, but we're still looking for signs of improvement in the bicep muscles. We're going to therapy every other week and have an MRI scheduled for July 9th. He has to be sedated, which I'm not excited about, but, we are looking forward to knowing exactlywhat we are looking at in regards to the injury.
3. I'm still seeing a therapist for postpartum depression and I've started on 50mg of Zoloft. I am definitely getting better mentally and spiritually which I will go further into detail in another post.
4. I am back to working around 25 hours a week, and I have to say I feel like I'm in a good balance with work and raising my baby. I wish I could stay home with him all of the time, but I also do enjoy what I do as well. It's nothing fancy. I'm an assistant. But I don't mind being someone's right arm. It works for me I guess.
5. My husband and I are trying to get back into the gym routine, going early and alternating mornings. We'll see if we can keep it up!

Those are probably the big things that at least get you somewhat caught up. I'll go into detail in more specific posts on things, but I felt the need to just re-evaluate the last 4 weeks. SO much happens in four weeks.
