In the Skinny Jeans

  Some people say they just can't wait to get back into their jeans after having a baby.  I fit in skinny jeans but they are new.  Lol. I purchased two pair of cheap ($19) skinny jeans from Old Navy.  I think it's more emotionally rewarded to wear non maternity close after you deliver.  If you can't fit in your old clothes, buy new ones from Target, Walmart, etc.  

I currently weigh 135 now which means I lost a little over 20 pounds.  Remember I gained "only" 35-40 pounds this time instead of 55 with Leon.   I lost 20 pounds from delivering and  breast feeding.  I haven't done much physically yet.  I was just cleared for exercise a few days ago.  I leave for Caracas this week and can't wait to get back to an exercise routine.

Four, no FIVE, Weeks Later

It's almost five weeks since Elsie was born.  Things have been going well.  Even though she nurses every two or three hours a night (in my arms not laying down...soon though), I'm not as tired as I was with Leon.  I'm also not as mentally drained.  I guess there's something to be said about the second time around.  Plus Elsie seems easier than Leon.  She can sleep without being held.

Body wise....I started losing the weight and regaining my prepregancy shape already.  With Leon I still had my pregnant look two months later.  This time around my tummy was pretty flat at four weeks.  In addition to breast feeding this time around, I have been "working out" by taking care of Leon and I have done some binding (more on that later)!
