I figured "Hey! I did all the work bringing Clay into this world, why does he get a status update and not me?!" So here are my stats at a little over one month post-pregnancy :)
- Lost all my baby weight (but then again, I only gained 16 lbs)
- Have not, however, lost all the puffiness and jiggliness. I'm still sporting the rounded belly (and it being bathing suit season does not help!)
- Therefore I am working out at least 4x a week... running, swimming, biking, cross fitting.... etc.
- Which makes me really wish I was sleeping thru the night
- Because I have no extra energy
- Which means the Claire spends a lot of time watching "Monkey George" (Curious George)
- But that's ok, right?!
- I am learning that having two is a lot trickier than one. I feel like I am constantly changing diapers and feeding one or the other of them. I'm hoping that everything gets a little more streamline in a few months.
- I feel like I can't really go anywhere yet because Clay sleeps so much. Also, it being 100 degrees everyday doesn't help. There's no way I'm dragging two kids around in this heat!
- But most important, in the midst of all this craziness and transition, I am LOVING my new little boy! He is so sweet and he is doing wonders to heal my broken heart. I am so thankful for him and wouldn't trade him for all the sleep in world! :)

I'm impressed that you're working out so much already! I couldn't even think about it until V was 8 weeks old. . .good for you!

I'm so glad to hear Clay is a healing joy to your heart!
ReplyDelete(16 pounds! Glad you only whispered that. Nursing sure does take off the weight, doesn't it?)
How did you get away with only gaining 16 lbs??? Clay still weighed more than my fourth live birth at 7.7 lol! She will be a year on the 26 Th and weighs 23 lbs,hehe:) I gained 24 lbs! Great job on the exercise! With four I just got back into last April! Such a needed de- stresser! Blessings on all your stats and Cole, Clair, Clay and the healing of Matthew who Is loving you all! Blessings, shelly Brown
