Gaining Weight!!!
That would be TJ, not me. He was 6 pds 10.1 ozs. when he was born. He is now at 8pds. 15 ozs. at 7 weeks and 4 days.
As you can see from the photo of our family, I am "fluffy", so I would not be happy gaining weight. I have actually lost weight breastfeeding. I am hoping to get down about 30-40 more pounds before we try for our next baby.
Trying for another baby? Yes, we are praying about when to have our next child. My OB says "because of my age" (makes me sound like I am ancient), that we can try again in 5 weeks. I am considering maybe November. Then baby would be due the end of August next year. TJ would be 15 months old.
I am 35 years old. We want three more kids. If I am going to have 4 kids by the time I'm 42 or go through menopause, we have to have them close together.
My main concern is that I had a C-section. I had wanted to try for natural delivery, but it just didn't happen. If we get pregnant again so soon, it will pretty much asure the fact of the rest of the deliveries being C-section.
I want all my babies to be safe and healthy. We are praying a lot about Gods direction.
