Well, Charlotte is now 8 weeks old. She still has some reflux, but generally it has improved a bit. She is also starting to smile when you talk to her. Her head strength is also pretty good, but occasionally she still looks like a drunken person with her head wobbling at times. I am still waking up an average of 3 times a night. And on average, it's not till 11pm before she starts to settle for the night.

I am still finding it a little difficult trying to juggle 2 kids under 2, but have settled into some sort of routine at least. This week though I have been a feeling a little more fatigued than usual as a result of getting a cold. I think I got it from Isabella, who got it from Scott. So far, I think this is the 4th time I've gotten a cold in the last 12 months - 3 were during my pregnancy with Charlotte. As a result of this cold, I've lost yet another kilo. At least there was some good out of it. Ha ha.

Not to make anybody feel bad, but as of today, I've finally reached my pre-pregnancy weight with Isabella. Yippee! This breastfeeding thing is fabulous for loosing weight. Makes me think that when I am finished with breast feeding Charlotte, it might be worth continuing to express to keep my weight off. Sounds a little extreme, but it's easier than dieting. Currently, apart from my usual meals, I also have ice creams and cookies a little more than when I was pregnant, and I've still managed to keep the weight off. I'm not sure what it does to my cholesterol level though. I wonder if breastfeeding keeps my cholesterol lower as well.. Hmm, will have to look that one up. By the way, do you know that there are breast milk banks?

Anyway, that's all for the night. Am so tired now. It's 9pm. Will try my luck at putting Charlotte down early tonight. Fingers crossed!
