Smoothing Out the Kinks

Though I have already lost 20 of the 32 pounds I gained during my pregnancy so far, every time I eat something like the Taco Bell I had for lunch today I think of the ellipticals I should be abusing instead. But no exercise allowed until after my 6 week postpartum check up. Heh. But after I lost the initial 13 or 14 pounds immediately after birth, I have been steadily losing 2 or 3 pounds every handful of days since. So that's promising.

Anya is still spitting up some but significantly less than before. Just a few dribbles in between meals aside from one decent sized episode yesterday evening that was still small in comparison to past fiascos. She was a bit fussy yesterday evening, too, so I think her system was still adjusting and working out the last of the milk based formula. She had to cry herself to sleep several times throughout the night. But she still seems to be doing better than she was. Today she has seemed relatively content and hasn't thrown any tantrums...yet. She's taking her bottles well aside from the occasional dribbles, and at the moment she's in awe of her musical polar bear on her tummy mat. I'm actually starting to worry that she's going to stay awake too long and be over stimulated as she has been up for about two hours without any sign of napping any time soon. Here's hoping I have my happy baby back soon without living in fear of the next screaming session.
