Shouldn't I Have Nicole Richie's Physique?

Talan.....hungry again (10 minutes after his big meal):

How can something so little possibly need so much to eat? The growth spurt I mentioned a few days ago is either (a) still happening or (b) it wasn't a growth spurt at all and it's just his new eating schedule. I'm praying that it's not going to last. I'm so worn out! He has been eating pretty much constantly. He eats and then a couple of hours later he acts like he's starving to death. It's insanity.

Here's the thing, breastfeeding on average burns about 500 calories per day. I promise you he eats more than the average baby so I figure that I should be burning double that. The fat should be melting off! At this rate I should be 100 pounds. I'd be much more excited about getting up at all hours of the night to feed him if that were the case! Not so much.

Once again the weekend flew by. I'm not sure I'm ready for another long week. We've got a lot to do this week so hopefully it goes quickly. Talan's one month check-up is on Tuesday. I'm really anxious to go to the appointment and to find out how much he weighs. On the flip side, I'm dreading the shots he has to get. I'm sure he'll do great but I probably won't. Wish us both luck! Off to try to get some rest. Thanks for reading.
