6-week postpartum checkup

saw dr. dobrenis last monday for my 6-week postpartum checkup.  she said that i'm all healed down there except for minor hemmies.  she told me hemmies are genetic so i got it from either my mom or dad!  that sucks.  :( i'm also still spotting.  she hopes it's not my monthly friend bec if it is, then i'm ovulating already!  i don't think it is my monthly friend bec i still feel contractions.  anyway, i have to see when it stops and if i have more spotting at the same time next month!  she wants me to wait to workout til the spotting stops.  UGH!  i can't wait to get back into physique57 and spinning!!!  she recommends yoga but i still have my pelvic pain!  she gave me a hi-5 for my easy & smooth labor (i know i still need to blog about it!).  WOOHOO!  told her the worst part was the hemmies.  she said i'm doing better than 90% of new moms at 6 wks.  she said i have "good spirit".  i think she's saying i don't have postpartum depression....

at 6 weeks, maki is more fussy, gassy, grabby and drooly.  we had to bust out the bibs.  also still patiently waiting for my first huge toothless smile... hope i see it soon!!!  went to see the pediatrician yesterday because maki had a bloody stool again.  the first time we saw that, dr. kercher was hoping it was a fissure in his rectum.  she gave us antibiotic cream for it.  but he's still having bloody stools and more blood this time.  so she told me that a lot of babies are dairy/soy intolerant so to eliminate that from my diet for 2 weeks.  it's so hard because i like milk!  it also has to be strict meaning i can't even eat bread.  :(  on the upside, i hope it leads to weight loss as well...  i was still eating too much carbs/sweets!  i've lost 20 lbs and have 20 more to go. 

i also noticed i started dreaming again... must be getting used to the lack of sleep.  whoa.  my sis kaye is also visiting us this week.  she has been a huge help with the baby!  we talked her into taking over the 3am feeding so mik and i can have uninterrupted sleep.  :)  YAY!

here are some new pics of maki - he's getting chub chubs!  :)

tummy time!

"hey there, good lookin'"

cheeky and spikey

hanging out with ninang kaye; he loves it when she talks to him

"i don't like it in here!"

"hi ninang kaye"  (busting out of his RL onesie)

"where are we going?"

it took us forever to get out of the apt and then it started to rain!  UGH

maki is all cheeks!  my handsome baby!
