MINI VACATION



we headed to the lake house in indiana for a mini vacation. i have logged many running miles at the lake house, and being there reminded me of how much i miss running. instead i was joined for a walk around the hilly dunes of indiana with the hubby and little man.

terrible picture of me (hello chubby bunny)
 
on our walk back to the house i spotted this slithery snake in my path 

a couple days later i went for a solo walk with the little man strapped on. not sure how much more weight he adds for his 2 month appointment isn't for another couple weeks and there is no scale in our home. if i were to guess, he's weighing in at about 9lbs. which is more than enough weight to make this sexy momma sweat profusely. we walked on the beach, which was his first time, not like he's aware of it but i have a picture for the baby book. 

he loves his paci


we walked when the weather permitted which was only about half the time we were there.

today i had my 6 week postpartum doctors appointment which didn't deliver the news i had been hoping for. i guess i'm still not completely healed and have stitches that are refusing to disappear. doctor suspects they will dissolve in the next week. although i thought i would definitely be cleared to run again and figures i would be out there tomorrow morning for the first time in months, i guess my body had a different plan, and i will have to resist the urge. on the bright side i have lost 20lbs since delivery and have 15 more pounds before i'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight. not bad. right? 

i empathize with those who are injured in the running world. now i know what it's really like to be itching to run but can't (not by choice).

yesterday the little man was upset and crying when we were loading up to head back to the city and for the first time the sound of my voice calmed him down = best feeling in the world.

i will leave you with one of my favorite picture thus far of the little man-

That is awesome that you are losing weight already like that! Way to go! I think you look lovely in the photos - you just had a little one!

Hang in there and you will be back to running soon!! :)
