With Milo pushing eight weeks... here is a general update on things.

I weighed him at our new mom's group and he weighed about 13lbs. That's about a 2 lb. weight gain since his four week appointment. So he's definitely a growing boy.

Nursing has finally started to get better. Milo is still doing the clamping and I'm still sore at times, but its all just very mild. My wounds from the first week are really looking great. I definitely feel like we have things under control. I'm glad I had such a great support system to encourage me and give me the resources I needed.

We also finally found a sleeping arrangement that works for us. I mentioned how on our trip, I became a fan of co sleeping. Well... our bed is still small and my husband is still a sound sleeper. There was truly no way to keep both of my boys in bed. My friend Kendra made a great suggestion. We ended doing a side car kind of a thing with the crib. Our crib is convertible so you can take one side off so its almost like a day bed. So we did that and then pushed our bed up to the edge of the crib. And don't worry, we made sure the gap between the two mattresses was filled so there is no possible way he can fall through or get stuck. We tried the new sleeping arrangement for the first time last night and loved it. I don't love the side lying nursing position, so I still picked him up and sat up to nurse him, but he went right back to sleep. I really just love having him safely within an arm's reach, but still getting used to sleeping in his crib.

We are still loving our Moby... went grocery shopping with it today. Of course Milo is used to his car seat and is starting to do much better in his stroller. We are also enjoying his new swing.

I guess that's about it for now.
