NEW ADDITION

i am finally back. reason for my long absence is the new addition to our growing family. welcome alexander lyle who embraced us on august 12th. he was about three weeks early and healthy as can be and ready to enter the world.

since his arrival i have obviously had to learn how to manage my time since i am his food supply and care giver. most of my day is spent feeding and changing dirty diapers. my only opportunity to get anything done for muah is while the little man is napping. which is exactly what he is currently doing.

as of yesterday i have decided it was time to get my body back. starting pregnancy weight was 113lbs and two days before the little man decided to enter this crazy world i weighed in at 147lbs. i don't own a scale so i have no idea how much i weigh post baby but i imagine i lost 20 lbs since his birth. i will find out at my 6 week follow-up appointment. since i am currently restricted from running i am walking while wearing him about an hour a day. today i was only able to get 40 min in since with a new baby comes many many visitors, some expected and some unexpected. the unexpected pop-in visitors are mainly my folks. i'm looking forward to being cleared to finally run again but until then i will respect that my body is still healing. just realized last night that i still have stitches, ouch!
