So breastfeeding is supposed to burn somewhere around 400-500 calories a day, which is pretty spectacular when you think about it. That is a serious workout! Which would also explain why on some days (like today) I feel like an endless pit and don't feel satisfied. I just had a snack and I still feel hungry!
At 10 weeks, Noah is continuing to grow and grow and has reached almost 12 pounds, doubling his birth weight. While he is still on the small side for the norm, we're happy that he is growing and excited to see him change and become more expressive. He smiles more, coos more and is just more fun as he is more playful. Which will probably also make it that much more difficult for me to go back to work in a few short weeks.
We just started transitioning him from the Pack N Play in our room the crib in the nursery, which has been a bit challenging. BUT, even though on the first night he woke up like 3 times, I swear, that first 3 hours of sleep was the deepest sleep I got since pregnancy. The second night he only woke once, so I think he's getting adjusted.
Since Noah has been a pretty good and his overall demeanor is mellow, we thought he could handle a 'stay-cation' with us. Labor Day weekend is the Okinawan Festival, and we had a $130 credit for a free stay, so we stayed in Waikiki with him. He was really good the whole time and actually slept well with us at the hotel. We were able to hang out with my family, enjoy the festival (except the bon dance because that was too loud) and just relax.
The photo is from our stay.
