On Monday I had my check up with the doctor after surgery and everything. I got the clear to go ahead and start lifting, exercising, bending, the green light for freedom. Ha! So I have been having fun lugging the car seat around, using the BOB on my own, and hiking up and down stairs. I even rented a post c-section work out dvd, which I did once before deciding attempting to complete workout dvds with Elle is pointless!! Unfortunately after 5 days of freedom, I don't have my body back yet. At least elle and I can get out more and more on our own, and I feel better being active. Now the challenge of how much is too much.
No I'm not pregger here...this is the moby wrap and how I like to carry lil Elle around!
This has pretty much been the first week where I feel like I am on my own and taking a crack at this motherhood thing solo. It has gone well, although way way more demanding than I could ever imagine. I have definitely decided that planning daily activities outside of the house is an absolute must. Since lil Elle just loves to be held by her mom, it makes it pretty much impossible to get too many things done around the house. So, it helps to just get out of it you know!! So I am going to have to start planning fun activities for us to do! We are excited for our first baby and me yoga class on Saturday. We will see how it goes.
So I am not sure what the weather has been thinking all week...but brisk and chilly describe it to me! Oh life in the Windy City...is it summer yet! The breeze is cramping my freedom!
