My 4 Month Postpartum Weight Loss

At four months postpartum I am now trying to loose the last 5-7 pounds. I have been fluctuating at 110-112 lbs for the past few weeks.

I guess at this point I'm ok with being where I am now. Honestly, I haven't been doing much to try to loose the last few pounds anyway. I have been eating pretty normal and now that the weather is getting nicer we are going out to eat more which hasn't been helping. 

I haven't been working out other then walking Emma and the dog everyday. Also every week we have been going to the park to jog and rollerblade. But I think the weight loss has been primarily due to breastfeeding and trying to watch what I eat.

I'm just happy I can now fit in to my pre-pregnancy jeans and clothes!! I feel great~

4 Month Update!

Emma turned 4 months last week! She is becoming the most sweetest little baby :)
Today we went to the doctor for her 4 month checkup and shots.
Her weight and height are 23 1/4" and 14.5 lbs.
She is in the 20% for her height and 65% for her weight.

Eating:
We are still exclusively breastfeeding every 3-4 hrs. She is still a great eater! A very cute thing she does now while nursing is, once she hears me talk to someone she will stop, look up at me and then give me the sweetest smile then continue. Its the cutest thing!

Sleeping:
Now that she sleeps in her own crib she has been sleeping longer intervals (4-5hrs). She slept through the night a few times which was awesome. But her sleep schedule still varies and she still uses the pacifier to fall asleep.

Misc.:
She is just the calmest and sweetest baby. She really doesn't cry much unless she is hungry or tired. She's great outside and doesn't mind to be left alone to play by herself.  I feel like I have it too easy I'm scared for how my next baby will be!

More than last month she has been smiling, giggling and cooing. She hasn't rolled over completely but has been able to turn to her side when shes on her back. She started to grab more too! Not really her toys quite yet, but my hair and clothing. She also has been trying to sit up. She cant do it on her own yet but she definitely likes to be sitting. She tries to pull herself up when shes in her car seat or when I prop her up on pillows.  

She was baptized last Sunday so that was a memorable day for our family <3


Emma's baptized! :) 
Hot day!
Trying to roll over!

Another Hot Day in NY!

Wow today was so hot I had to change 3 times. I was out all day today since I had the car. In the morning I had to run a few errands then stop by my moms house. 

For lunch I met up with my best friend and had some cool neng myun. It was soo good!! After lunch I ran a few more errands before going to visit my mother in law. 

She is currently undergoing chemo treatment for breast cancer. Its very hard for us to see her so weak esp since she has always been such a strong women. But I know in my heart because she is so strong, she will fight the disease. 

I was glad she was doing so much better then her previous treatments. Since it was so hot we stayed in and watched dramas while eating crackers with the guacamole dip I made :) For dinner we all went out for korean bbq!

American Eagle dress I got from TJmaxx with my Sketchers sandals.

Cupcake dress!
I ended up changing her later too because it got too hot!
