Hi, gang.
Just an update to say I’m surviving. Boy, life with two kids is hard. I love my boys, though. I can’t imagine life any other way.
I feel like I’ve recovered from my C-section, but I’m having trouble recovering from the months of bed rest. I just don’t have any stamina. I want to be active and chasing Ian around the house, but I really just feel like sitting on the couch all day. I’m hoping that regular exercise will help. Right now I’m taking a hula hoop class, which is fun but brutal.
I’m still carrying 20 pounds of baby weight. That’s a bit hard to accept. With Ian, I didn’t gain a lot of weight even though he was 9.5 lbs, so I was down to my pre-pregnancy weight within a few weeks. This time around I have a harder journey ahead of me. I’m nursing, and I feel like I’m hungry all the time, but the weight isn’t melting off. For now I have a closet full of clothes that don’t fit.
In fun news, David rolled over from tummy to back tonight!
I haven’t stopped by in a while but I’m glad that you and your little ones are well!
Glad to hear from you! The hula hoop class sounds great! It makes sense to me that the weight would be coming off more slowly this time, especially since you aren’t feeling as active. Hang in there! I’m quite sure, though, that you are still beautiful. 🙂
Wild man!! I can’t believe it! Judah is still sleeping all the time and there aren’t a lot of wiggles going on. We have got to get these kiddos together more!
