An update on me- 6 week mark!

I love posting on Landon rather than posting on myself (which I'm sure everyone would rather read updates on sweet Landon anyway), but I figured it would be good to let everyone know how I am doing and what I am doing.
As of this morning when I weighed myself I am only about 5 lbs. from my weight that I was when I first became pregnant with Landon. Crazy to think that I went from 115 pounds to 163 pounds by the end of the pregnancy. I realize now that it was fine that I gained so much weight because I ended up with a big, healthy, little boy.
Even though I am almost back down to the weight I was when I became pregnant (a good view of what that would look like is if you refer to the picture on the side of my page) my body is no longer what it looked like last year before becoming pregnant. My stomach has become this squishy thing that lacks a baby and I cant tell you how many stretch marks I have on my love handles. I am trying to get rid of those ugly marks but then again I dont know if those will ever go away. The main thing is that "Im trying" to get rid of them with this expensive cream AKA Mederma.
I am now getting more sleep. At first I wasnt getting much sleep but now after 6 weeks I can finally say I'm getting the hang of things more. I have figured out that Landon doesnt need me to hold him constantly. He loves being held but has enough independence that he lets me put him in his swing and will take a nap. After bringing him home from the hospital I would change Landon's diapers a lot. I figured out that if he is in a good sleep and probably can go without being changed its better to not wake him and just change him a little bit later after we both have had more sleep.
I have a good handle on breastfeeding now! I was having a hard time in the hospital handling this delicate baby with a ton of heart monitors all over his chest. They were feeding him quite a bit of formula on top of that, so he was very unhappy that he wasnt getting much from me because my milk was not in. This was not only frustrating to him but it was also frustrating to me because even though I only wanted to breastfeed him I would have to break down and give him his formula because I didnt want him to be frustrated and hungry. I solved the problem and eliminated his frustration and hunger...even though I was frustrated that with all the pain my milk hadnt come in. Now, I am glad to report that I have no problem and he is no longer having to drink formula...so now we have a big tub of Similac Advanced sitting in the kitchen waiting "for a rainy day."
The passed 5 1/2 weeks have consisted of sleeping on the couch for me. When I lay down on an actual bed for a nap I realize what a difference there is and how good a bed feels compared to a couch. Even though I feel how comfortable a real bed is I am not quite ready to attempt the crib battle. For a couple of reasons that is... I realize that this is precious time with my little baby that I will never get back. He will never be a baby ever again once he grows up and he will no longer want to have his mommy as much as he does now. My other reason is the convenience for the two of us. Most of the time, since he sleeps on my chest, I can just wake up and feed him when he starts to stir without him having to go into full blown "I'm awake ...FEED ME" mode. So, I am waiting until his stomach gets a little bigger and he can go a longer period of time without eating to try the crib battle.
Lastly, I dont get out of the house much...which is completely fine with me! I mainly have only been going out to get groceries or an occasional visit to my parents house. Daniel and I are staying healthy this way and dont want to expose Landon to too many germs this early in his life.
I know this post was a little long but I just wanted to update everyone on me, since some people wonder and ask. I hope you all are doing well and thank you for all of your prayers for my little man. He is over his first cold. I will have another update soon because we get his heart monitor results on Tuesday! Please, Lord Jesus, help our little boy's heart to be pumping like it should!
