Week 11: Happy St. Patty's Day

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Leif's cute outfit is courtesy of his Nana, thank you!  Can you believe this is size 6 months?  It's just a little baggy on him.  He's a big baby!

Highlights of my last week or so:

-We've been taking Leif on walks with the moby wrap more often, and what's cute is hubby is starting to wear the wrap too:

-We took Leif to the mall and the car ride was almost intolerable-he screamed almost the entire way there.  After a quick feeding in the car, he passed out in the moby wrap and had a fairly calm baby the rest of the trip.  We then drove over to my co-worker's/friend's place (Angela) to visit her and her two adorable kids.  This is also our part-time nanny when we need her!

-I tried out a 'warrior' class at the gym Angela goes to...they're offering a $100,000 reward for a 90-day challenge.  As enticing as it sounds, it still costs $300 up front to participate and the point system sounded complicated.  But none-the-less I tried out their most popular class at 8am Saturday morning.  Since Angela is currently pregnant with her third kid, she isn't participating in the challenge or classes, but her husband is.  I was thrown into a large space with about 60 other people and the workout for the day was to get in groups of 10 and then rotate station to station for 4-5 minutes.  Stations varied from overhead shoulder presses with small weights, to medicine ball throwing to linked sit-ups.  Then after that we crammed into an 80 degree heated tiny room where we did these boxing exercises with partners (think constantly tapping gloves over your head for 3-4 minutes as fast as you can).  I was dripping.  But I made it through the entire workout without giving up/stopping and was proud of myself for being able to do something like that 11 weeks after giving birth.  After talking to other members of the gym about the challenge, I decided I wasn't going to sign up since working out hard/changing my diet could affect my milk supply.  One gal said it would dry her up, Angela said with her second kid it was fine for her...but 1. I don't want to take the chance and 2. I can't afford it.  They would have put me in the "Most Fit" category and seeing a lot of other super fit chicks in the class, I doubt I'd win.  I would want to spend all my free time with Leif anyway than in a gym.  I'd rather just keep working out at home next to him and/or with him, and he'll soon be big enough so that I can push him in his jogger while I go on runs.  

That's about all!  Leif turns 3 months in 10 days, my folks will visit in 10 days, we have tons of family visiting in April (Nana, Missy and aunts/uncles/cousins), and I go back to work in less than a month (boo).  

Alright everyone, have a fun and safe St. Patty's Day!
