Hi! Boy, is it ever hot in Central PA!!!!!! My baby does NOT like the temp. change at all. He slept for most of the day, and when he was awake, he was very cranky. My DH cleaned out the air conditioners today, and we have them on now. Hopefully, that will help.

Here are my workouts from lastweek:
Sun: walk-20 min.
Mon: off
Tues: HC Extreme, cardio and legs (what a tough workout)
Wed: two one-hour walks (one in the morning, one in the evening)
Thurs: off
Fri: walk-30 min
Sat: yard work

I noticed that I got way more cardio than strength training. I will make that my goal this week (at least 2-3 times).

I was able to wear two more pairs of shorts since lastweek (yeah). And, they are not stretchy!

Other than being very hot, everything is fine here. I hope you are all staying cool!

Hi there Jen!

We here in NJ put our A/C's in last week! We had a few warm nights and that was it, they were in! I can take the heat during the day but I can't sleep if I'm hot.

Joey and I ventured out to the mall on monday. I had a Mocha Lotta Chill from Cinnabon :9 and I bought 2 pairs of sneakers for $25.00 from Payless }( . I was happy! Plus, I got in a little walking which is what really prompted the outing. Too hot this week to take the little one outside for a walk...well, atleast, I personally won't do it...it may be fine though, who knows...

Last night DH, myself and Joey went for our weekly dinner and DH's mom's house. That's always a nice time. All eyes are on Joey ofcourse lol so mom and dad get a good meal that MOM doesn't have to cook :p and can relax a bit since everyone is so willing to do for Joey so we don't have to. ;-)

Tonight I am very excited about. :+ I have been out alone on short stints to different stores for things since Joey was born but this will be the first time momma is out with out Joey in a social situation! It's something that was pretty routine in my life pre-baby but now it seems like such a special treat! I feel like I should put on a ball gown to go out! LOL :7 My best friend and I are going out for dinner while dad takes care of Joey at home. I will not be driving to the restaraunt so I can have a couple of beers and really relax and kick back for a while. I am sooo looking forward to it! I need to unwind and de-stress!

Okay, well I have chattered on long enough!

Take care!

Hi all!

Wendy, I hope you enjoyed your night out. We had a night out last weekend when my aunt went to visit. I got a little choked up in the car while driving to the restaurant but then relaxed and was able to enjoy the evening.

I had my post-partum check up today and the doctor said I am healing well and gave me the go ahead to start exercising! I plan on trying to ease back into videos if I can away from Rylee for enough time.

Rylee is doing well. I tried pumping this weekend and feeding her from a bottle. I only got about a 1/2 and ounce out! So I need to practice with the pump some more. I fed it to her anyway and she took the bottle with no problems! I would like to get start having one feeding a day be from a bottle so that when I go back to work I can keep her on breastmilk. Plus it would be nice to have my hubby help out with the feedings.

That's about it for now. Hope you all have a good week.

Hi! We are still in the heat wavex( I am going to put Andy's tub outside and fill it with cool water. He loves taking a bath, so I hope he will enjoy it!

Wendy-It's nice to have a night out without DH or baby! I've been out to see a band with my cousin, but had to cut it short cause I had let-down about 3 times, and my boobs hurt so much! I have also been on shorter outings for walks with friends, etc. I always come back so refreshed. Did you enjoy your night out?

Imani-I started Andy on the bottle early too, and he is fine with it. I also make sure he has at least one bottle every other day so he continues to be used to it. I'm still not sure what I am going to do when I go back to work (pump or not). I still want to breastfeed, but maybe only in the morning and nights? Who knows. I have a little while to think about it.

Well, I am off for a nap. I saw a great review for GS Legs, so I am off to order that first}(

Jen-

My night out was great. Very refreshing. Thanks! :) I admit though that I did feel sort of guilty leaving the little guy x( even though I knew dad would take great care of him. I guess that's a part of being a mom, huh? lol
