Do you still have baby inside Mommy?

Now that it's been 7 weeks, it's time to do some serious exercising. I've lost 15 lbs from pumping, but I still have 10 lbs to go on top of the 10 lbs from the first pregnancy. My stomach still looks like I'm 5-6 months pregnant. I hate that in-between stage where you can't wear your regular clothes, but the maternity clothes are too big. I seriously don't want to be wearing maternity clothes when I go back to work in 5 weeks. Last Friday we went to the mall and I decided to get a quick 10 minute massage. The guy at the table asked me to fill out a pregnancy form! I looked at him and told him I just gave birth 6 weeks ago and this is all baby fat. He was so embarassed and apologized! Even Nathan keeps asking if there's still a baby inside of me. I know it takes a while to lose the weight since it took 9 months to put the weight on, but it's so depressing when you see celebrities like Angelina Jolie have good genes and lose the weight within weeks by not doing any exercise.

Kaitlyn is eating very well these days and is chunking up compared to Nathan. One major difference we noticed between our two is their poops. Nathan hardly ever pooped and when he did, it wasn't that messy. Kaitlyn's on the other hand are quite explosive and "soupy" and sticky. She poops every 2-3 days and we always brace ourselves. She poops so much that it sometimes comes out onto her stomach (one time, it went onto her umbilical cord b4 it fell off). I'm scared what her poop will be like once I stop giving her breastmilk, which I'm hoping to continue for 6 months instead of 4 months with Nathan. Nathan had major constipation once he started drinking formula exclusively. Whenever she poops she's in so much pain and cries hysterically...lucky for me, I designated Dan as the poop diaper changer!
