Having an 8 month old!

Hey everyone,

Its been awhile since Ive wrote, time just seems to pass by so quick with a baby!

Jackson Is 8 months old now and its been crazy, because he’s finally becoming a little person. Its been really cool to watch him grow, and Im definitely loving this phase a lot more. I can’t say I liked the newborn phase so much lol, I am definitely more into this phase to be honest.

Jacksons been sleeping through the night pretty much since he was about 2 months, he went through a little hiccup at around 3 months when he regressed but thats when I just started sleeping training and ever since he’s been sleeping from 7pm-7am! whoop whoop its been a life saver ! Its nice because once 7:00 rolls around I’m like ok MOMMMA time, wine? book? work out? whatever I want. Which is great because as a mom you kind of have your schedule around the baby.

Life is good, Im excited for summer time this year lol winter has felt like its lasted a little long. I also noticed when I stopped breastfeeding about 3 weeks ago, my hormones were kind of just out of whack and was feeling a little blue. It was odd, I felt like myself but I just felt soooo lazy. I ended up calling my doctor and letting her know and she explained to me that when your producing milk you have high levels of prolactin the “feel good drug” so she said when you stop breastfeeding your hormone levels are all out of whack. So I am about 3 and a half weeks after weaning Jackson from breastfeeding and I am finally just starting to feel better, hooray.

SO yah life is busy but good, if you guys have any questions about jackson comment below!!
