How to lose 20 lbs in 7 days

A. Have a baby
B. Nurse her every 5 minutes (at least that's what it seems like!)
C. Voila!

That was easier than I thought!!

On another note, Madeleine had her first pediatrician appointment this morning. My mom went with us - we both love her doctor! He sat down with us and answered all our questions, and then gave us a bunch of great information as well. We could not believe how much weight she gained in one week. She was born at 7 lbs 12 oz, left the hospital weighing 7 lbs 6 oz, and now she is up to 8 lbs 8 oz! He said she was perfect, everything looked great and to come back to see him in 3 weeks.

It was a beautiful day yesterday and we took her for her first walk in her sling. She loved the fresh air and sunshine, and fell asleep as soon as we stepped outside. I will have to post a picture later - I am making up for my previous lack of pictures now!
