First Trip To Tristate With All Three Boys

This morning I went to tristate for the first time since having Lucas. Things went really well, but i just need to allow for more time to get there. I need to start getting ready an hour before I need to leave so I can be ready to work out at the right time. Today was no big deal on how long it took me because it was just me and Alisann and Mom walking, but when I start back going to my classes I will have to be on time. It took me two trips out to the car before leaving. I carried Jax out first and got him and Christian in and then I came back for my bag and Lucas. When I got to tristate I pulled right up to the front and took Jax and Christian in first and got them signed in and then I came back out and got my bag and Lucas and brought him in. Then I went back out to my car and parked it and went back in to walk. It was definitely a lot of back and forth. This will only be temporary until I can carry both Lucas and Jax at the same time. That will probably be in another month. I walked the track for 30 minutes and then Alisann and I sat in the sauna for about 20 minutes. It was great to be back at tristate getting some exercise in. When it was time to leave I took Jax out to the car first and got him strapped in, drove my van up to the front and went and got Lucas and Christian and then we were off. I left my house at 8:40 a.m. and I got back home at 10:40 a.m. That wasn't too bad! I might be limiting my tristate trips to twice a week for the next month though!

2 Weeks Postpartum & First Day Back To Work

I am now 2 weeks postpartum and I am weighing in at 143 lbs. I am really pleased with this so far and I am hoping to be in the 130's by next week. I have been trying to eat really healthy and eat very small amounts. I am basically hungry all the time but it seems to be working. I am hoping to start back walking this week so then I will burn more calories and can afford to eat a little more so I am not quite so hungry all day. I am also needing to tone so bad. I feel like I am just so flabby and out of shape. I hope it doesn't take long to build my muscle back up and tone everything. I am still bleeding a little, but not very much. I am now only wearing my sports bra during the day and not at night. I am still keeping my back to the shower some, but I think I am pretty much over the leaking and the engorgement. I have been doing a lot better emotionally. I don't feel nearly as paranoid as I was and I haven't been crying hardly at all this week. I am still sweating at night so I must still be losing water weight. My first day back to work was yesterday. Things went really well. I was worried that I might cry on my way there, but I didn't. I am looking forward and am nervous at the same time for this next week. I am able to now lift Jax only when I have to. I can at least put him in his crib for naps and get him out of his crib in the morning. I am going to attempt to go to tristate tomorrow with all three of the boys. My mom is going to come in the morning and supervise and help only if I need it. She wants to be here just in case I need help. I think I will be fine. How hard can it be to get three boys ready and drive to tristate and drop them off at Kids club while I walk for a little bit! I also have to work 3 days this week. It's only for about 3-4 hours each day, so that should be okay. Now that I am feeling much more back to myself things will be better. I am also no longer taking any pain medicine so that is really good!
