Persian food

I am dieting and probably will be for months to lose this baby weight. I have been craving food from this Persian restaurant for eveeeer and am afraid if I go I will eat everything in sight. My husband and daughter don't like any of the stews and such that I make but will eat things at the restaurant. This means I never, ever get to eat Persian food. I think I'm gonna make a bunch of Persian baby food for Hunter so that maybe I'll have someone in my immediate family that will eat it with me. I think I'll have to just make gameh or gormeh sabzi without rice. It's better than nothing!

Summertime and a little fatty!

In one week and one day Avah will officially be on summer vacation! I am going to sign her up for VIK (very important kids) through her school. They do fun things like go on field trips and have water days. Shes only going to go two days a week, but hopefully it will keep her from being too bored.

Hunter is gaining weight like no other. I apparently make super breastmilk. As of today (5.5 weeks old) he is 9 pounds 3 ounces. At his two and a half week appointment he was 6 pounds 9 ounces. This means hes nearly gaining a pound week. Its such a good feeling to look at your baby and know that he is growing and thriving solely on the milk you are providing him. Unfortunately for me, I am one of those freaks of nature that dont lose weight while breastfeeding. The same thing happened with Avah and as soon as I stopped breastfeeding it all came off. I am desperately trying to find solutions to this problem because I really dont want to be fat for however long I decide to breastfeed for. Let me know if you have ideas!
