Postpartum Update

6 weeks after Miss Paige was born this is what's going on with me!

I had my 6-week checkup last Tuesday and all is well!

Pounds gained during pregnancy - 36

Pounds lost so far - 26.5

I have worked out once since Paige was born (at 4 weeks) and haven't done anything since, although I did buy new tennis shoes so that's a start, right?!?!

Dress shopping for Will's wedding was no fun! I was feeling pretty good about the direction everything was going until I started trying on dresses and things weren't fitting the way I'd like. That is when I really realized the changes in my body. Yet I still haven't worked out...

Problem areas = hips, butt & thighs.

Oh and my boobs = huge! That is where those last 10 lbs. are sitting right??? Ha!

I am hoping with Wally going back to school this week that will help with the weight loss. We were having too much fun at the end of summer and not eating very good so that couldn't have helped much!

My rings are still snug. I think my left knuckles are still swollen. I can get my rings on, but it is killer some nights to get them off! Maybe some finger workouts are necessary :)

Sleeping is wonderful! Every night I sigh in relief knowing that I can sleep on my stomach or my back or my side or however I want. There is no belly in the way or back hurting!

Overall, I feel great! I really have from the second I delivered Paige - it was instant relief! And I have to say that I am happy with the way my body has bounced back post baby #2. Now the rest is up to me and well, once college was over and I stopped dancing, physical activity has been very rare. I get on a kick for a week or a day and then stop. I think this time might take some effort on my part - stay tuned!

Oh and I have 8 more weeks of maternity leave left so that makes me really happy :)
