1. We went to a church service and picnic in the park today. DS is 11 days old. We got so many comments from people surprised that we came. Afterwards, DH even thanked me for pushing for us to go. It was a fun late morning/early afternoon.
2. DS is still napping since getting home from the park IN HIS CRIB! It has been 2 1/2 hours! I am going to wake him and feed him now, but I am so proud of how long he lasted in his crib.
I'm 5 days PP from a csec and I'm able to get up around the house and do some light housework (when the hubs isnt looking lol, otherwise he gets pissed at me) and I'm able to pick up my baby girl and walk around without having someone hand her to me, I know it's not much but I feel like it's a lot to me lol
DH and I have managed to keep the house up and I have kept the laundry up, although im behind folding by 2 loads right now, but its all clean!! I also did a core workout 3x this week during LOs long nap from 12-3. Worked out and napped!!
I'm proud of how well DH and I are navigating our new sleep deprived marriage. We've had a couple of moments, but overall there's still far more love and laughter than anger.
I'm also proud of how clean our house is right now. It's not spotless by any means, but it's actually cleaner than it ever was during my third trimester!
That as a FTM, I have not called my mommy crying in the middle of the night! Though i think my mom is a little saddened by that. DH and I have managed 4 weeks now without calling in a rescue team lol.
Baby girl gained 11oz in 7 days drinking milk I made

I'm proud of all you mamas in A15! Seriously, some you guys have been through some serious stuff between your personal life and pregnancy and motherhood and you're all rock stars. I consider you friends.
Went for two relatively long walks this weekend with DH and LO. I could barely walk with so much pelvic pain when pregnant and had a c section. Walking any distance is a big deal.
Well done everyone! I'm proud of you all too I'm proud of myself for having been in much better mental state this time around, as I've given myself a break about some things. I really can't believe how much better I feel with this baby! Sure this could all change in a couple of days when DH goes back to work...
Breastfeeding! My sweet girl is two weeks tomorrow and has gained 1 lb 13 oz since birth and is well over 9 lbs. I feel like each of my boobs deserves a gold star or a first place ribbon!
I'm proud of how well DH and I are managing as first time parents. We are trying to be very considerate of each other and of the needs of our LO. I'm proud of our dogs for being curious but not rough around the baby.
I'm proud of sticking with breastfeeding it's getting easier every day. Hopefully I'll soon be able to start a freezer stash. I'm also super proud of my boyfriend and I for making it through my DD 9th birthday party sleepover last night! It also made us think we are good at 3 kids instead of maybe going for a 4th in a few years.
I'm proud of finding special time with DS each day, even if it's just me with both kids. I'm so, so proud of DS for how sweet he's been with his sister! I've made it to 3 Barre classes now only 5 weeks after delivery (yes, I was cleared by my doc). Also, I've planned DH and my first date day and another date night. It took many months for that with DS.
Good for all you mom's having breastfeeding success of any sort. It's not easy at all, and I'm glad people are giving themselves the credit they deserve!!
Proud of hubby and I for being a good team, and taking turns getting up with DD at night. Or if I'm stressing out, he's there next to me. I've been trying to breastfeed but it hasn't gone very well and has resulted in tears a few times from me. But I'm thankful for supplement that has helped out my baby girl a lot.
I'm proud that I took both boys out by myself for the first time today and didn't feel stressed. Also proud that I caught my ppd early this time and was able to get meds before it got out of control.
I'm proud of breastfeeding since I was unable to with my other two children. It was something I really wanted to do this time around and we have had really no complications. It's been awesome.
I'm proud of myself for keeping up with exclusively pumping when I absolutely hate it and would love to quit
This!! Exclusively pumping is hard work!! Sometimes I'd rather just give him a formula bottle than to pump when I could take a nap instead, BUT I know it's important. Seeing my little guys milk drunk smiles make it entirely worth it. Oh and I'm proud of myself for stealing some shower time and coffee time on a semi regular basis ~O) =D>
Saturday was our first full day home from the hospital. I sm proud to say that DH and I both showered, ate, and napped on top of feeding, changing, and comforting our LO!
I'm proud of myself for breastfeeding, especially today. I had been feeding from one side and then supplementing with breast milk in a bottle. Today I made the decision to nurse for longer so he wouldn't need the bottle, even though it has made my nipples so much more sore.
1) my DS is healthy! 2) when I can get him to latch without the nipple shield! 3) proud of my boobs and their awesome supply! 4) my DS' strength- we've overcome a TON of obstacles since his birth to now (9 days pp). He tries so hard, I can tell! 5) my DH!!! He is the most amazing Daddy and has been incredible comforting me through hard challenges and still being so sweet to me and our son!
I'm proud of my baby for doing so well today at her newborn photo shoot. I was super nervous on how she would handle it but she was a champ. I can't wait to show off the photos she took... also I'm getting a free session before valentine's day because the lady who took her photos wants to use her photos for her valentine's day ad. I'm so proud of her!
Proud my little one gained 13 oz in 7 days. Also that I am usually able to figure out and calm her when she cries and that my husband and I made it out for a coffee date this weekend.
Re: What are you proud of???
I'm also proud of how clean our house is right now. It's not spotless by any means, but it's actually cleaner than it ever was during my third trimester!
**Special thanks to hubs** (not sure what will happen or how I will smell once he goes back to work next week though!)
