Kelly have ya been able to keep control of your numbers? Hope that's going better for you!

 

I've been feeling alright...I started timing contractions last night I thought I might be in labour, but my body was just playing with my head Other than that I've been good, just bored FI won't let me do anything but works too much to really keep a handle on any of the house work, and I'm a neat freak so I'm really kind of going crazy with that. His parents are coming down soon though, his mom wants to come and help out which will be really nice!!

Hello ladies!

I can't believe Gavin is 2 weeks old already! I'm sorry I haven't been on but it's been a little hectic as you can imagine! I've been very fortunate to have DH home from work all but a few days during the last 2 weeks and he's spoiled me rotten! He's been doing all the house work, most of the cooking and most of the diaper changes! He goes back to work on Monday and I'm both dreading it and looking forward to some time for myself!

 

It's been a crazy 2 weeks with a rocky start to breast feeding, DHs 30th B-Day and Gavin's circumcision falling on the same day and the overall adjustment of sleeping in spurts of 2-3 hours but I've loved every second of it and could not have done it without my hubby's support! Have I mentioned he's been awesome?!!! I want to shout it from the roof tops!

 

I promise to be back this week with my labor story and all the little tid-bits of having a new born, pictures and tips for any of you who plan to breastfeed. Just wanted to chime in on the workout question. I did cardio and walked A LOT all through my pregnancy and I believe I owe fitting into my jeans this weekend to staying active!!! In addition to breastfeeding and starting to walk again. I still have a little belly to loose but am basically back to my pre-pregnancy weight!

Now, when I got pregnant it was a whole other story. My morning sickness during the 1st trimester was mostly in the afternoon and evening time, so once I left work I would go home and sleep because I didn't feel well and most people have zero energy around that trimester. I was also bleeding at first so my doc didn't give me the ok to work out until about my 12th week. After that, it was really hard to get in to a routine. All though I didn't go to a gym, just walking the dog seemed to take my breath away. I wish I could be more active because I really miss working out, it's just not recommended to do if you didn't work out from the very beginning. My heart rate tends to rise and I get shortness of breath right away if I walk even at a regular pace. So, I only walk maybe 2 or 3 times a week, but it's something!

Thank you for sharing with me your experience. I guess it'll really depend on what kind of pregnancy I have, in the end. So all I can do now is stay as active as I am and see what happens!

Thank you to everyone else who also responded to my question, I appreciate it!

I'm starting my last pack of birth control this week, more exciting than I anticipated! Oh, and leaving in 20 days for our weddingmoon, VERY excited about that :-)
