So, since Lily was born, I have been wearing maternity pants or sweat pants or yoga pants…basically anything with an elasticised waist band. For two reasons really, my stomach is still huge and the area around the incision has been tender. But, yesterday, for the first time, I was able to squeeze my big belly into a pair of normal jeans and it didn’t hurt! I was so excited! Not sure why it stayed tender for so long, but very happy that it seems to be going away!
Another very exciting moment, watching my baby girl stand up in the middle of the room with no help just so that she can take some steps instead of crawling! This isn’t AS new, but it is still very exciting every time she does it. Crawling will likely be a thing of the past very soon, she really wants to walk. She has taken up to 6 steps without falling so far, but she keeps pushing, I’m sure it wont be long. Hopefully, when that day comes, she doesn’t decide that if she can walk with no help that she can also walk down the stairs with no help!
One more exciting piece of information. When Lily went in for her 9 month check up on Friday, she was weighed, she’s still pretty light, only 18.5 pounds, but, she is now in the 55 percentile instead of under 50%! She’s still way above average for height in the 96 percentile. Hopefully this gain on the weight side of things will help her fit better into her clothes, with the colder weather we are going to have a hard time dressing her when her pants either fall down or are the length of capris pants.
For now, that is all.
