The Incredible Shrinking Woman

One good thing about breastfeeding constantly is that I'm definitely burning the calories. As of this morning, I'm down 21 pounds from last Tuesday morning. That would put me at my lowest weight in about 5 1/2 years or so. I know it's probably not the healthiest thing to be losing weight so quickly, but I really can't help it. For one thing, I'm definitely not eating enough. I sleep through breakfast and then usually don't have time to eat much of a lunch. Especially now that Ed's been gone during the day. He's usually the one who makes sure that I eat. We do have dinner every night...thank goodness I planned ahead for that one...and I snack a little throughout the day. Not that I'm complaining, mind you...I just need to stay healthy since I'm nursing.

Last night was stressful...Ed was gone until about 1 am. He had a group presentation at 10 pm just outside of D.C. Another metro place, so he got the night shift. It was worth it...he had a really good day. It's just stressful being alone that late after being alone for most of the day with the baby who never stops nursing. He has to make us money though, so I'll deal. And I keep crying for no reason...darned hormones. It's starting to get old. I wouldn't even mind so much if it was when I was alone, but it always seems to be when Ed's home and then it just makes him more worried about me. I don't want to worry him, but once the tears start they're hard to turn off. Hopefully this stage will pass quickly.
