update!

I am glad to be able to post now, have been meaning to keep folks up to date! The past few weeks has honestly been one of the most challenging periods of my life. Its mainly the lack of sleep that has made me craaaazy. Like honestly depressed and very moody. I am just not myself when I don't sleep enough and it has been soooo long since Ive gotten a good nights rest. The past week Levi has been waking up to feed more in the night and is now getting up for the day at 5:30. Gah! I am also going today to buy cereal/formula for him as I'm no longer producing enough milk to keep up with his growing body! I am still pumping and what not but think my supply may have dwindled b/c of work but mainly stress. I had a really rough day yesterday and got backed up (engorged) despite pumping for the first time in a long time. He's also had a diaper rash that got so bad that we've been bathing him 2X per day and letting him sleep and hang out naked. Hehe, it's actually really cute, but also lots of work! Great news that Marcelo got a new job with another non profit (more on that later) He starts his new job next week! He's there for one week, then goes back to his old job the following week, then returns to the new job for good. So needless to say he has been super busy trying to tie loose ends and what not, working extra hours and weekends and coming home completely spent. Marcelo and I literally arrive each day so exhausted we just constantly negotiate and take turns so the other can rest. We did have a nice Fathers Day at the Arboretum and above all, are truly enjoying the hec out of Levi. He is sooooo adorable and each day truly brings something new. He's been really into squealing with joy, grabbing stuff, and now doing a lot of kicking and moving with his legs and feet. Its all so amazing. The days of going to the gym whenever I want are so over, lol. But I'm learning to be OK with it. I have been trying to make it once a week for a yoga/hot tub session which I love so much. It has been also really fun walking at a local park with a lake and tons of people with levi in the stroller. I want to start incorporating him into my activities! We usually walk between 1-4 miles and its great. SO to sum it up its been as equally amazing as it has been challenging. And, like always, onward we go!
