And here we are now:
Not the best picture but it's what I could get! It's amazing how much better I look, even the coloring in my face. And I feel great too. It's so nice being able to go up 2 flights of stairs without getting out of breath! Anyway, I've been trying out the baby bjorn little by little at home and the last 2 times Jack has fallen asleep in it. I want him to get used to it so we can successfully use it when we're out. So far, so good!
I had my 6 week postpartum check-up yesterday and everything looks good. The day before I had Jack, I weighed in at exactly 200 pounds and 6 weeks later I am down to 167. At my first doc visit I was 153 but my goal is 145. That's what I was before getting pregnant. I know the last 20 pounds will be more difficult to lose and I'm not going to stress about it. I'm just looking forward to being able to wear my old jeans again!
Jack is changing so much. It's hard to remember the little 7 pound baby I brought home. He focuses on things more, he uses his voice a lot more and he's getting a lot stronger. He's such a big boy! He's going a bit longer in between feedings but he's still not on any kind of a schedule. I think 2 months is a good time to start establishing more of a routine. I'm hoping to start putting Jack to sleep in his crib at that time. He still wakes up pretty often to eat; about every 2 hours or so and it's just easier to have him next to me. Once I'm back at work it'll be easier if he's in his crib so we're going to start in a week or two. I hope it goes well! After I fed him this morning I put him in his swing so I could get some breakfast and he slept for 3.5 hours! I should've napped but I did get some laundry done. I never know how long his naps will last because sometimes he takes these little cap naps throughout the day. It's rare he sleeps for a long time unless he's in the car seat.
I know I'm forgetting things I had wanted to write but I'm a bit pre-occupied! Here are a couple 6 week pics:

Happy 6 weeks!!!
Holy cow! Way to go on the weight loss - that's impressive! I seem to be stuck at 23/24lbs, but I also have been eating cookies nonstop, so that may be why :)
I can't believe how quickly our babies are growing up!
