Today was baby Travis’s one week. I can’t believe a week has already passed by since I gave birth to him. I’m healing well from the delivery. I ended up with a first degree tear, so the pain has been minimal. My body just feels so different. I wonder if my body will ever be the same again? I suppose only time will tell. I don’t regret all these changes one bit. I would do it all over again because Travis brings so much happiness in my life.

We didn’t do much today. We went to the clinic because his pediatrician wanted a follow up weight check. Two days ago his weight was 6lb 2oz, an increase from his discharge weight of 5lb 13oz (his birth weight was 6lb 3oz). He was weight today was 6lb 6oz! I’m glad my baby boy is gaining some weight! The breast milk that I’ve been pumping out for him has been doing him well.

After the clinic, we went to the Commissary for some grocery shopping. I was somewhat nervous since this was the first time taking him out in public. Thankfully it was a slow day so it wasn’t all chaotic and loud. He was a good boy the whole time. He only cried once because it was time for his feeding. Other than that, he was asleep the whole time.

Thankfully tomorrow is Friday! My dad and sister are coming up from SoCal and my aunt and uncle are also driving to our place from San Jose. On Saturday, my cousin and her family are coming over from San Francisco for a little family gathering. I’m totally looking forward to this weekend! Can’t wait!
