6Wk Post-Partum Check-up

I seen my OB/GYN for my 6-week post-partum check-up.  Yes, Jacob has been with us for 6 weeks already!  Although it's not that much time, he's the size of a 5-month old I know.  What a monster! :) Alex is also a big boy - he is constantly as tall as the kids 1-2 years older then him.  I hope that gives him an advantage while playing college football during his pre-med studies.  Poor kid, never had a choice! :)

Back to the check-up.  It turns out that everything has healed perfectly and I'm now free to do whatever activities I want.  I also have lost 18 out of the 21 pounds gained during my pregnancy.  Just 3 more to go! The best part is that I have been eating like a pig.  The down side?  I still have to lose the 10lbs I kept from Alex.  Plus, as any of you mommies already know, pre-baby weight in lbs vs post-baby weight at the same lbs does not have the same composition.  Time to hit the treadmill and weights. Ugh.  I hate working out.  BUT, I really do want to get rid of some of this extra poundage before summer.  Wish me luck.  At least I have breastfeeding (and therefore advice AGAINST dieting) on my side.  Things could be worse...

Thanks for reading.  I'll have more for you after I get the pics of the boys (after haircuts) and this card project finished.
