Naturopathic Visit and Other News
We weighed Neriah today on the same scale, and she is up 6oz! She now weighs 10lbs. 14oz. at 9 weeks. Yay! I was told to feed her every two hours and wake her every three to four at night... sigh. We're going back to get her weighed again in two weeks.
We also went to a naturopathic doctor today. It was awesome!! The doctor thinks Neriah has some stomach issues because they first thing she had to eat was formula. She said formula changes the PH balance in the stomach, and Neriah didn't have colostrum to coat the stomach first. She told us to massage Neriah's belly with Castor oil once a day, and told us some other stuff to give her to flush her belly out. I can't wait to see if it makes a difference!
Also, Neriah rolled over for the first time today! She's done it three times so far, so we know it wasn't just a fluke.
On another note, I hate my post-baby body. I've gained a lot of weight since I got married, and then gained WAY more when I was pregnant. I just feel gross, and have for a while. I gained 30 pounds in the two years since I got married, and another forty when I was pregnant. So I decided to do something about it. I ordered the 30 Day Shred DVD by Jillian Michaels, the trainer from The Biggest Loser, as well as The Biggest Loser Cookbook. I talked a friend of mine, Danielle, into doing the Shred with me so we can hold each other accountable. I can't wait!! My goal weight is 125 which is what I was before I got married. Right now I'm around 165. I really hope to make a life style change! I can't wait to get started!

So Discouraged
Just when I thought we had really gotten the hang of everything, I took Neriah to get weighed, and she's lost weight. At six weeks she was 10lbs 10oz, and at eight weeks she was 10lbs 8oz. I've also noticed she wasn't having six soaking wet diapers a day. I was/am so worried. Now what?! I can't FORCE her to eat more, and when I try, she has a major meltdown!!
Luckily, her wet diaper count is back up, and she's still having plenty of dirty diapers. We're going in again next week to get her weighed again on the same scale and then we're going to go from there. It's really one thing after another!!!
