Baby body and more… or less
Would you believe I already look like I did back in May and June?! 
When we watched a nursing video at our birth course, a speaker said nursing made the fat, etc. melt away. I didn’t believe it but Sara Ellen isn’t yet two weeks and I’ve melted away! I read I’d look about 5 months pregnant after birth, and I did, for the first few days in the hospital. When I came home I was a little bit smaller and now I’m even smaller! I’ve been wearing my maternity jeans when I actually put on real clothes but I think I can wear my normal clothes! I never did wear pants tight though it’s easier if I wear cardigans or zip-up sweaters.
Also, we made a milestone this evening. Sara Ellen and I just left the apartment for the first time since Sunday to go grocery shopping. I was really nervous about her crying and wasn’t sure the sling we’d bought would work but she was already asleep and I guess because she prefers movement (i.e. walking) anyway, she slept the whole time. Phew! She was so cute bundled up in hat and bunting Mom made her! I was also concerned about how I’d feel physically while walking more but that was just fine too. I think the episiotomy stitches have disappeared so now I’m just dealing with a little soreness.
