on the other hand, we don’t have much Lu and Ali time. I love seeing the excitement on his face when he comes home from work, ready to snuggle Luca. seeing Lu with Luca is just the best thing, and proves I really did marry the right man, haha! building a family with Lu has brought more love into our household than ever before. he’s a natural Daddy and I love seeing how comforted and protected Luca looks in his arms.
it’s two fold! most importantly, I love Lu more than I did before the baby! watching him with our son melts my heart so much. there will be time for getting back into shape, but for now, I’m enjoying this stage in my body! according to my postpartum doctor’s appointment, I have 8 lbs left of pregnancy weight, which I feel good about – I need that extra fat for breastfeeding! I’m definitely as soft as I’ve been in years, but I’m okay with that. I also told myself I’d be gentle on myself and not rush back into getting into shape and let me save my extra energy for cuddling and taking care of Luca. I worked out consistently during my pregnancy and ate as healthy as possible, so my body looks great to me for just giving birth.
now, at 7+ weeks postpartum, my hormones are back in balance, thankfully. I look forward to my next cry next year, haha!Īs for my body, I feel nothing but pride! I’m just so amazed by the miracle that is birth. I have only cried once – I let myself have a big cry! it was so therapeutic. there were times when I was home with Luca and would feel overwhelmed if he wasn’t sleeping all day and I’d want to cry. there were also times when Lu wouldn’t be understanding about something and it would make me want to cry.
there were other times when I’d look at him and want to cry out of pure joy and happiness. there were times when I’d look at Luca, terrified, and want to cry. Hormonally, at first, was crazy! I’m the type of person that only cries once a year (literally, once.) needless to say, dealing with the insane hormonal surges that happen post-delivery was shocking for me. if you have any questions, leave them in the comments and I’ll do my best to answer as many as possible, as they come in! life with a newborn: q&a how have you been feeling: hormones, body, relationship changes? nothing can truly prepare you for the emotional roller coaster of motherhood (especially in the first couple of days/weeks), but in the end, once you find your stride, it is truly a beautiful feeling and something I’ll never take for granted.įor those of you new mamas and expectant mamas, I’ve put together a Q&A based on the questions I’ve received since baby Luca was born. Every day, I truly feel blessed to wake up to this precious little baby boy.
