[Weekly Digest] Postpartum: Week 4

How I feel (Overall): Can't. Wait. For. Week. 8. I dreamt that I started doing BBG workouts again and man, I woke up feeling good for 5 seconds before realising it was just a dream. 

Pain areas: Still some soreness at times but minimal. Im hoping the pain will subside even more and by week 6 I'll be pain-free! 

How I coped: I feel like things are starting to fall into a schedule that works for me, John and mum. Mum has been of tremendous help - so has John and I feel extremely lucky again this week as I ponder and look upon the blessings in my life. 

AJ's Progress: AJ is starting to become more alert - mum reports incidences where he actually responds to what she says (either by coo-ing or making some cutesy baby noises). He sleeps less these days, is increasingly fussy and still regurgitates milk. One thing I've learnt about him this week is that halfway through feeding, if he has to burp and feels uncomfortable he will squirm around and pull away. That is when I know, if I don't straighten him up within he next 30 seconds he will puke out all the milk. And so far I've been 99% right.
