6 months postpartum

That's me 1 week postpartum, 6 weeks postpartum, and 6 months postpartum.

I've lost all my baby weight and then some. I've lost an extra 8 pounds in the past couple of months, so I've decided I can eat as much as I want! I do hope I don't look quite as thin in real life...

My goal was to breastfeed for 6 months. Yay me!! My new goal is 9 months, and we'll see after that. Don't get me wrong, breastfeeding is awesome and it has come very naturally to us, but some days I miss wearing regular and flattering bras (sorry if this is too much information!)

In the meantime, we'll continue breastfeeding and I'll start working on getting Evan used to a sippy cup, so we at least have an alternative for other fluids. And eventually I'll start him on cow's milk. I was never breastfed and I was on cow's milk by age 2 months, I'm sure Evan will survive cow's milk before he turns one. So, 3 more months, and we'll see what we want to do after that.

Breastfeeding has definitely had some influence in my weight loss, I think, because Evan keeps gaining weight no problems, and I keep losing it. My belly is still soft, but then again it's not like I've been working out or anything. I'd be silly to expect it to be hard and strong when I really don't exercise at all (I'm not counting carrying Evan around). And my belly button still looks bigger than it was and sort of stretched. But I won't even think about it until after No. 2. Right now, I don't really mind how it looks, because in all honesty it doesn't look that bad.

I never got stretch marks, seems I'm one of those lucky ones that managed to avoid them. My mom never got them with her three pregnancies, so it runs in the family.

So, all in all, looking good!!
