Fit Life - Weigh in Wednesday....well Thursday

I'd like to do a post each Wednesday with a weigh in on Ryley and myself (once I get the ok from the doctor to sort working out, etc.) So I'm a day late on this one, life with a newborn is a bit hard to schedule, but here it is.....drum roll please.....she weighs in at 7 pounds 7 ounces! She's gained almost a full pound since birth and a pound and a half since her lowest weight. She's right on track!

In the beginning breastfeeding wasn't easy, although it still isn't, so I had to pump to make sure my milk came in. I was constantly worried that I wasn't producing enough milk for her. A feeling of inadequacy was hard to deal with. I was the life support of my child and I felt horrible that I was struggling to provide for her. But thankfully things are working out and she's gaining weight great. I still stress about it but it's getting easier.

This is us out for a walk after our weigh in. It was our first solo adventure :)

I wanted to do newborn pics but they are SO spency so I figured I could do some of my own. Isn't she the cutest little thing!

This is her just about a week old. You can tell she's grown already :)

 I can't wait to see her continue to grow. She gets stronger every day. It's the coolest thing. She's started hugging my arm while I give her the pacifier. It's pretty adorable :)

I'd write more but she's awake and hungry so have to head off. Thanks!

It Starts....

Stay at home mom life has begun. I'm 3 weeks and 4 days in and for now I can say it's interesting. I LOVE my little one but I'm just used to a different lifestyle. My work life was so hectic and constant GO GO GO! Although life now is tiring, from lack of sleep, the repetitiveness of it is a bit boring. Feed, poop, sleep....and repeat. Good thing Ryley is just the most adorable thing ever! Check her out:

Ryley Eleanor Bossenbroek Born July 4th, 2014 6lbs 8oz, 18.75 inches

Matt and I are so lucky to have her. The first couple weeks were rough - the hormones were just making me crazy. I'm not an emotional person and for 2 weeks i was crying all the time. Not because I was sad but just everything, good and bad. Luckily things have leveled out quite a bit and I'm finally feeling back to normal. Plus Ryley and I are getting onto our own schedule too. She's a relatively good baby and sleeps pretty well. Right now we are doing about 4 hours after her first night time feeding (from 10pm-2amish) and Matt does that feeding so I'm getting a bit of sleep. Thank goodness for Matt, he's been truly amazing and SO helpful. I sure have myself an amazing husband :)

So since I'm now a SAHM I've decided to get back into blogging. I figure I'll have a bit of time, eventually, to do this. And I'm excited to share my experiences along the way with others. Hope you come along for the ride :)
