My baby girl turned 2 months old yesterday!
She had her first big round of shots today, which she did not enjoy, but she is now peacefully sleeping them off.
2 Month Stats:
Weight: 11 lbs. 9.5 oz.
Length: 23 in.

Monday Check In: Week 3
Why did I want to do this again???
This week was not very successful. I did jog/walk 3 times for 30+ minutes and I increased the jogging to walking ratio, but my knees were really giving me trouble. I barely made it through the 3rd run because of the pain, and I decided not to go for a 4th. I guess this is what happens when you go from not exercising at all (and being fat and pregnant) to exercising...
Week 3 Stats (8 weeks PP)
Weight GAINED: +0.1 lbs.
Total Lost: 29.6 lbs.
Remaining Weight: 13.4 lbs.
I really want to continue the jogging, but I think I need to give my knees this week to rest. Walking doesn't seem to bother them, so I am going to try walking but increasing the distance. Hopefully I can at least maintain this week since I'm sure I will be eating a lot next weekend when we head to SM to visit my parents.
Finally, just for my real life and blog friend Marisa, here is a picture of what I look like these days. Sorry - no biggest loser style flab shots. This will have to do!

8 Weeks
We had a very busy week! E probably doubled the number of places she's been, and for the most part she did great.
Highlights from this week include lunch and shopping with Grandma K, a visit to see Mrs. F and her new little man JP, and dinner with friends from church.
Things we are looking forward to this week:
*E will be 2 months old on Wednesday!
*We are taking our first trip to SM next weekend to see Grandma and Grandpa D (Mommy is FINALLY getting her hair done)!

Thing we are NOT looking forward to this week:
*E gets her first big round of shots on Thursday :(
(I've heard this is not a pleasant experience...)

Monday Check In
Since I started exercising and trying to lose the baby weight, Monday has been my "weigh-in" day. I've decided to start posting on Mondays to keep myself accountable! Since I started two weeks ago, I will give a quick recap.
I gained a total of 43 lbs. during my pregnancy! About a million people told me not to worry, that it would come off quickly/easily after I had E. Maybe it will, but I think their ideas of quickly and mine differ a bit. I am VERY impatient!
The first 25 lbs. did come off quickly/easily within the first 2 weeks after delivery. By the time I was cleared to exercise, I was down 27.5 lbs. with 15.5 left to lose. DISCLAIMER: I was technically underweight when I got pregnant (despite having put on 10 lbs. by drinking Ensure), so depending on how I look as I go along, I may stop before I lose all the weight. We'll see!
During Week 1 I did one short hip-hop dance workout video (~20 minutes) and walked/jogged 3 times for 30+ minutes each.
Week 1 Stats (6 weeks PP)
Weight Lost: -0.9 lbs.
Total Lost: 28.4 lbs.
Remaining Weight: 14.6 lbs.
During Week 2 I walked/jogged 4 times for 30+ minutes each and increased the jogging.
Week 2 Stats (7 weeks PP)
Weight Lost: -1.3 lbs.
Total Lost: 29.7 lbs.
Remaining Weight: 13.3 lbs.
I would love to have pictures to show you of my progress, but that sounds terribly embarrassing, so I will skip that! Wish me luck this week!

Kemah
Since I sit at home with E most days, I am determined to do fun family things outside of the house on the weekends. The weather was great yesterday, so we decided to take a picnic lunch to Kemah. NOTE: It is against the rules to take food to Kemah, and there are plenty of people there that will tell you so!
Hope you enjoyed the beautiful weather too!

Cousins
Yesterday was very exciting because E got to meet her aunt and uncle and two cousins. My brother and his family live in Chicago, so we enjoy any chance we get to see them.
What a bunch of cuties!
