3 and a half weeks later...

So I FINALLY have a moment to blog again. Motherhood has been quite the adventure so far. The few moments I have gotten for myself while the little one sleeps have been golden. But so far, I feel okay. Maybe a little overwhelmed and weepy but no depression. Sometimes while the baby is sleeping, I just look at him and I am amazed that I carried him in my belly for 10 months. And 5 of those months I didn't even know he was in there! LOL! Hence this blog. But I digress...He has such a personality. He is so strong and feisty! And he loves being held, like most babies. He is growing everyday; he was such a little guy when he was born, barely 6 pounds. We actually suspect that he was less than 6 pounds and the scale was off but we know for a fact that he was 6 pounds at his 1 week doctor's appointment. So many milestones in such little time...umbilical cord falling off, first checkup, first bath, first diaper change... He will be 1 month next week, I can't believe it. My body is feeling better and better everyday. The end of the pregnancy was so intense for my body. It feels so good going to the bathroom now...LOL! These are things most people take for granted. My worst physical complaint these days is probably sore nipples/breasts and a soft body. I am actually okay with my stomach, it's soft but it's pretty much shrunk down. Now I just need to start working out to get rid of these last 9 pounds of pregnancy weight and then some. I started out about 8 pounds over my personal ideal so I am ready to kick my butt in gear. I am equipped with a Pilates DVD, the couch to 5k program, my almost new sneakers and a brand spanking new ipod. I am eager to have an even better body than I did pre-pregnancy. I need to tone and tighten it up. I know it is going to be challenging but after giving birth naturally with no drugs I feel like I can acheive anything! I am even getting pretty good at one handed typing! haha! Who knew having breakfast, taking a shower, going to the bathroom or even checking e-mail would be such a challenge with a new baby???!!! Now if I could just get the hang of the baby wrap, I could get more things done!
