Changes

Lately I have been seeing changes ...not only in the weather but also my body. I can tell that the weather is drastically changing because the whole house is getting hot and we are having to run the fans. Today I put Landon in his Moses basket and when I went to get him out he was sweaty. I have figured out that we shouldn't put so many clothes on him that we were a week ago. He is now having to wear short sleeved onesies and he seems to be sleeping really well. I would like to think this is because his temp is better regulated.
I can already see changes in my body. It is crazy because I havent seen myself like this for months! I figure I have my body back that I had in early September. My stomach has shrunk up so much already and my feet have gone back to normal. So, good news!!!... My body has gotten rid of my Shrek feet! Daniel made the two of us lunch today and asked me how many slices of bread I wanted to go with it. I told him "just one". He was like that's it?! I had to tell him yes, and remind him that I am no longer pregnant and dont need to eat as much. I have realized how easy it is to get off of the couch without an extra 50 lbs weighing down on me and that it is a lot more comfortable to walk through the store when I go buy the stuff we need.
Now, I thought that once the baby was born my passing out spells would go away, but for some reason that seems to have stayed. I didnt pass out tonight but as I was changing Landon's diaper something just hit me. I had to have Daniel take over and get out of the room, wash my hands and get down to the floor fairly quickly. When stuff like this happens I have to sit my butt on the floor until I start pulling out of the spell. I think it might have something to do with my body getting hot, but the other factor is probably me needing to drink water. I guess this may be something that I might have to deal with for the rest of my life, but now I know that it wasnt just the baby weighing down on me...its just my body. Months before I was pregnant my body would kind of go through something like this anyways...so I guess I shouldn't have tried to link it to me being pregnant.
Im sure I will notice more changes as the months go on. In the mean time my love for this little baby grows stronger every day. I dont know what I would ever do without my two men. They mean so much to me.
