So, I realized that I haven't really talked about myself lately. Imagine that. So I decided to give an update on how I've been doing almost 3 months after having Monty.
For one, I've lost most of the baby weight that I gained. I'm only ONE POUND from my original goal. However, after being this close I believe I need to push myself a little harder, to get off all of my weight. I'm back to fitting into my original jeans, but I still have a couple extra inches around my waist that really bug me. So my new plan is to do lots and lots of crunches and work heavily on my core. Let's hope it works!
I've adjusted really well to being a mom. I love waking up to Monty everyday, and it just fills my heart with love every time he smiles at me. Don't get me wrong, I've definitely had a few bad days, but the good ones far out-weigh the bad. The biggest and hardest adjustment for me is not having a job. And to be honest, I don't really miss the work aspect of it. It's the part where the money comes in that I struggle with. It's hard not having your OWN money to rely on. It was, and still is, a big adjustment to not have an automatic deposit into my "personal spending money" account. I'm sure with time though that this will pass.
On a physical level I feel pretty great. I get out of the house just about everyday and go for a long walk with Monty. I try to stay as active as Monty will allow. I really enjoy breastfeeding now, I'm so glad that I decided to breastfeed and stuck with it through the very rough and rocky beginning. My hair has started falling out, which I hate! But, I know its just something that happens. All that wonderful thick hair I got while pregnant is slowly going away.
I still have that awful line down my belly! Maybe someday it will go away...
Sorry there are no pictures for this post, but check back soon because I'm going to try and get some Mother's Day pictures taken this week. Yay, for Mother's Day!
