We are two weeks old now. We have belly buttons now. We hate having the hiccups, but don't mind the baby papasan. So far, our poop is not smelly at all, but our pee smells like ceral. We are two weeks old now and we are happy and lovely babies.

Jeff and I ventured out into the world without the babies today. First time. We left them with Grandma and drove through Monuments to find a Walmart a little too deep into Virginia for our taste. We had a gift card that we used to buy newborn diapers and formula. In the car, I cried because I missed my babies. I never knew a trip to Walmart could be so emotional. I also cried because I was buying formula, which makes me crazy. I can't wait until next Friday when I can start working on breastfeeding again. When my milk becomes toxic no more.

Some positive things, though. This morning, I weighed in at 265. I was 305 the day I gave birth and 305 the day after (thanks extra fluids!). But the fluids and pounds have been dropping off slowly these past few days. 40 pounds gone, 40 more to get to pre-pregnancy weight, then the real fun begins. Today, I could actually wear my wedding ring again. Whoohoo!

Time to sleep before a baby wakes up. More tomorrow.
