Post-Partum Check-In Week of Oct. 11

[Southernfit]

Hi Ladies!!

Hope everyone is doing well. I was all geared up to have a GREAT week as far as my workouts were concerned, but mid-week last week I woke up with a MAJOR sinus headache and conjestion. Every fall I get this and it lasts about a week. So, due to this sinus stuff, I have not felt much like working out. The good news is that I still managed to lose another couple of pounds last week despite my not working out as much as I had planned.

Baby Jack is doing well...it is so hard to believe that he is already 3 months. Where has the time gone?

We are gearing up for Halloween in our house. My daughter is going to be Wonder Woman and she has decided her little brother is going to be SuperBaby. I don't think I could have planned better if I tried. I can't wait to get pictures of this crime-fighting duo!! We actually ordered the first season of the Wonder Woman televison show on DVD for my daughter. She thinks Wonder Woman is the greatest.

Have a great week!!

Hi! I hope everyone has a spectacular week!!!!

Jessi, sorry to hear you had a sinus infection. I hate having a stuffy head. I hope you are feeling much better. Sydney has fully recovered! I hope that is it for the fall/winter, but I doubt it.

I LOVE your DD's idea for halloween. I also am a fan of Wonder Woman. I was Wonder Woman when I was 8 or 9. My mom hand made the costume... I wore a black wig... I didn't have certain assets that Linda Carter has though... and I still don't have those assets. I'll have to get the picture from my mom and see if it scans (its a polaroid). Jordan is going to be an elephant, and Sydney wanted to by Dora... we'll see if it stays that way. I keep her from the costumes at Wal-mart, so she doesn't change her mind.

Jordan is doing well. We decided he should start sleeping in his room. Jordan has been in the bassinette by our bed... well, that has turned into sleeping with us... which is difficult because our daughter is also in bed with us... so I have to protect him from her (she is wild). Anyway, we have decided Jordan needs to go to his crib. DH actually had no sleep Saturday night because Jordan screamed and DH wanted me to get some sleep. I am married to the greatest husband on the planet!! Last night was better... he woke up at 3:30 and I did bring him to our bedroom but he went ot his bassinette after he nursed AND SLEPT until 7... we'll get him there. Last night his apnea monitor went off 4 times (he was fine). It is inconvenient to run to the other end of the house. Anyhoo, I didn't get much sleep because of that monitor.

I started the P90X program last week and LOVE IT!!!!! I am doing the classic rotation.

Sun: Rest
Mon: Chest & Back, Ab Ripper
Tue: Plyometrics
Wed: Shoulders & Arms, Ab Ripper
Thu: Yoga X

Have a good week!

Hi Ladies!
I'm checking in a bit late this week. It's been very busy. Last week was a good week for me working out despite being a little fatigued. But I pushed through it doing the CTX series (except for LL which I wanted to do Tuesday but was too tired. I plan on fitting it in this week):

Sun: Power Circuit/Back
Mon: S&I/Chest
Tue: Off
Wed: All Step/Shoulders
Thu: Baby Yoga
Fri: Kickbox/Biceps
Sat: 10-10-10/Triceps

Jessi- I hope you're feeling better. Nora is 8 weeks already and I can't believe how quickly these past weeks have flown by. I love watching her grow and develop but at the same time I don't want this precious time with her as a newborn to disappear so fast!

Autumn- I hope Jordan is adjusting well to his crib. Nora sleeps next to our bed in a co-sleeper (set up as a bassinette) and one day she'll have to move to her crib...but I'm not ready for that just yet!

For Halloween, Nora's got a yellow and orange baby duck outfit (it says "Chick or Treat") that we get to show her off in while we're passing out treats.

Have a great week!
