Today, my baby boy is 6 weeks old! These weeks have gone by so fast, I can't believe it. Here is a picture of him at my 6 week appointment with the mid-wife. (Please note that this was taken before he began to get fussy)
Today, I weigh 154lbs. I am 20 pounds away from my pre-baby weight. So far I have dropped 31 pounds which is great, but I am feeling like these 20 pounds are going to be so tough to loose.
Here are some reasons I am hoping to shed this baby weight soon:
-My old clothes still don't fit. My old shirts look awkward on me- My pants, forget it!
-My shoes don't fit-I am not sure if my feet have grown in size or they are just a bit swollen still. I need to loose this weight and see if that is the issue. If it isn't, I'm going to have to start a new shoe collection which will cost $$ (arrrrgggghhhh)
-Going back to work in November - need to fit into my clothes and I should take advantage of this time when I am not working to exercise and get in shape.
-Baby Leo's baptism is scheduled for November, I will not beat around the bush, I want to look good for it!!
Loosing weight is one of the many things on my mind. This month, I have to start thinking about how I will manage on going back to work. I plan on extending my leave until November. Baby Leo will be 3 months old on October 25th so I think I will feel more comfortable once he is 3 months. I need to work with my mother so see if we can come up with a schedule that will work for her and me and then I have to present this new schedule idea to my employers and see if they will go for it. Fingers crossed!
So many things on my mind about how the next few months will pan out. I wonder how other moms do it.
Unfortunately, putting together outfits and fashion are on a backburner for me. I still like to look the best I can when I leave the house but being creative is now in my cards at the moment. I would like to loose a bit of weight first so I can start mixing in my old stuff. I really do try to be as creative as possible but it is hard when your wardrobe is limited.
Please share any ideas that you have on going back to work and how you dressed after pregnancy. I would love to hear.
I am off to clean my disaster of a kitchen before my child wakes up. Ciao Ciao!
