8 Weeks Old

Its hard to believe Matthew is 2 months old already! In many ways it seems like just yesterday but then again I've done my best to block out the hell that was labor so it seems like it was further away. He's definitely trying to talk to us now with coo's and baby language. Sometimes when daddy makes noises at him, Matthew tries to mimic that noise. His eyesight is getting sharper each day and last night he discovered the ceiling fan. Daddy went back to work yesterday and I miss the extra help but luckily Matthew's nap schedule is more regular now and he gives me lots of breaks. He's easy to deal with but my back still isn't 100% so I need the breaks. On a personal note, I've started Weight Watchers again and off to a good start so far. We've been good about walking but I want to start incorporating swimming also. The doctor said no abdominal work at all until the baby is 4 months old. My labor and C-section were pretty traumatic and he doesn't want me to over do it. Since Dr Y is a fitness buff, I'll take his word for it but I can't wait to get rid of this spare tire!
