2 weeks down

Having a 2 week old is very time consuming. I'm not able to get much done. The boy literally eats every hour. He's on for about 30 min each feeding, then it takes 10 min to try to get him to burp. So you'd think that would leave me 20 min every hour to get something done....nope. For some reason that isn't possible. He just finished eating & is sleeping in my arms right now. Pretty sure if I put him in his bassinet or crib he'd wake up.

I'm allowed to gradually get back into working out now, so I'd really like to go to the gym. Kinda hard to do when you're breastfeeding & your baby does a better job at getting the milk out than your pump.

Pumping. Ugh! Biggest pain in the ass! My goal is to strictly pump, so I don't have to be the only one who feeds him & so that I can have a life & have his grandparents watch him for a little bit. Well that isn't working out so well. And I'm getting really pissed about it. I've only tried about 5 times. One day went really well, but yesterday was discouraging. I don't frickin get it.

I don't want to give up though, so it looks like I won't have a life or go to the gym for another 4 mos.
