The time is coming....

The hardest part of pregnancy for me is to see how much weight goes on. Mind you, it's well worth it all :) But, it's been difficult to see pictures of myself as I choose what to post on the blog, and see where my body is now. I don't feel as big as the picture shows, but it's a good reminder that it's important to work on getting my body back. Not just for looks (which really is nice to have), but for body and joint health too.

I'm still waiting for my body to internally heal from Emily's birth, but sometime within this next week it'll be time to start. Slowly, walking ... even nature walks with the kids. Jennifer is joining me also, since she too still has leftover pregnancy weight from having her daughter 9mo ago. It's always fun to get together with other moms, especially friends, who also have the same goals in mind :)

If anything else, it'll be very enjoyable to get out in the morning air and walk with the kids :)

So, the fun part will begin..... pictures! Oh, the joys, standing baring all to the camera so starter pictures can be taken - these can be quite fun to look back on down the road - , measurements, and stepping on that scale for a starting weight. At least Jen and I are in this together :D

I'm glad that I have a good idea what my body flourishes on nutritionally, and what seems to bog it down. How I've felt defeated in the past, and what I need to not only succeed with this but to also spiritually grow inside at the same time. I am excited in many ways :) And all to be happening, walking and changing, while carrying this precious little girl who also will be able to enjoy being outside with me also :)
