Back to Normal

Jake is finally feeling much better. Every once in a while you can hear a little raspy in his voice but he is happier and sleeping better. After Christmas messing with his sleeping schedule then getting sick I was worried it would take weeks to get him back on schedule! I think he finally realizes how enjoyable sleep can be and he has gotten back to normal very quickly. Another thing that is back to normal is my weight! WAHOOOOO. I was not one of those mom's who lost baby weight quickly, in fact I was the opposite. I gained weight while breast feeding and then had to work really hard to get it off. In fact I'm just about 10lbs LESS then what I was when I got pregnant. It feels so good to be in PRE pregnancy pants and actually have them loose! I've never been one to feel really self conscience about my body but its weird how much a baby really will change your body. I even lost weight differently. It came off more than usual in some places and less than usual in some places. No complaints though, I admire the female body for the life it can create and everyday appreciate my slowly fading stretch marks more and more!

Sorry I don't have any pictures to add, Its hard to get cute ones of Jake b/c he NEVER holds still. His cousin Carter was sitting next to him today and Jake was doing circles around him! He is climbing on everything and it getting really confidant with standing up all by himself. I'm worried that he will be walking shortly!
