I wanted to check in with all the moms who have given birth in the last year or so and see how everyone is doing.
My fourth baby was born almost 6 weeks ago and is a true delight. Ryan is holding his head up, keeping his legs straight (sometimes) when "standing" on my lap and is generally a very happy fellow. Except in the evenings! He wants to be held and/or put to the breast to suck. I work from home on the computer at night when the rest of the kids are asleep, but am not getting ANYthing done lately. I'm not complaining; I am enjoying him so much. He was a "wonderful surprise" baby and I'm so grateful to have this experience again. Our older children are loving the heck out of him, too.
I've been back doing Cathe for the past few weeks, full intensity for the past two. I've lost all my pregnancy weight but still have that stubborn 10-15 lbs that I needed to lose before I got pregnant. I'm sure the new Intensity Series will help with that - it's great fun. Embarassing note: can't do jumping jacks or any floor aerobics that involves arm movement - my bladder can't take it! Step is fine. Is there any cure for that?
I'm 38 and my goal is to be in great shape by summer. I wasn't last year or the year before that but I'm more than ready now.
Kaz, your Daniel was born just before Ryan. How is he doing? And Fitnik, how is Max? Would love to hear from all you new moms (with first or more babies) and see how you and your sweet babes are doing.
Take care!
