Just your Typical Amazing Morning

Today has been the best morning ever.
Or at least the best for me lately.

So, I slept through my 1 AM alarm last night.
Apparently if you are super sleepy and don't hit snooze after a couple of hours,
the alarm just shuts itself off.
I'm okay with that.
So when I woke up at 5 and pumped, I got double the amount of milk.
Meaning I got to sleep more but still got the same amount of milk.
Win-win!!!

On a sad note, I'm on antibiotics right now.
Which means I'm pumping and dumping for at least one week.
If you've never done this, then let me just tell you, it's HORRIBLE.
To work so hard and then throw it away....ughhh.
But we are running out of room in our freezer so taking a week off is
probably a good thing. At least I'm telling myself that.

I've noticed that pumping exclusively is entirely mental.
It's so hard, especially when I'm throwing it away, not to just stop.
But I know that it's best for the baby and it's a lot cheaper than formula.

Next up, I weighed this morning and I lost 2 more lbs.
Most of my weight from the baby came off right away but I have a little bit
that just won't go away, so it was awesome to wake up to a loss.

Annnnnd today I have on real jeans. As in not maternity jeans.
I know, I know, that's pathetic.
I shouldn't be wearing maternity jeans, but for some reason I have it in
my head that calories consumed do not count when sitting in the NICU.
So I have been shoveling Snickers down my throat like they are going out of style.

Also, Harper reached 3 lbs!
3 lbs!!!!!!
I'm so beyond excited about this.
Mainly because we have read so many times that it will feel like forever
to reach 3 lbs but after that, most micro preemies just shoot up.
And I can't wait for him to shoot up!
His chubby little cheeks kill me already.
Oh and we finally have one tiny neck roll. :)

Here's to hoping that the rest of the day follows along on this awesome train.
Happy Almost Friday. Pin It Now!
