How are you ladies so motivated to get back into shape? I'm forcing myself to go to a class tonight so I can make local friends and be held accountable to the masses, I guess.
The hardest part is getting over the embarrassment of looking like a sausage stuffed into a gym suit casing--all this stuff used to be loose.

This weekend we were at the ILs and one of their neighbors was having a tag sale. I scored one of those activity jumper things and two grocery bags filled with super cute summer closes for K for only $25.

I wouldn't say I'm super motivated. I try to get there when I can, but our schedule sucks so I get to the gym maybe once a week now that I'm back to work. I figure at least I'm trying and this won't be for forever.

I've always liked exercise and exercised throughout pregnancy so I was itching to get back into it. It makes me feel better when I work out.

I actually think it might be easier once I get back to work? I don't have to be at work till 9:30, and daycare opens at 6a, so I'm thinking I'll try to go before work. I say that now, before the 4 month sleep regression.

I'm not lol. I have 10 more pounds to lose but there's no time. E doesn't have a cosistent bedtime yet to go running after she goes down. DH isn't comfortable being left with the 2 of them so I can't go while they're awake. Plus it's way too hot to run before evening. I'm hoping she starts to go down more consistently so I can go do the c25k since it's only 3 days a week for 30 minutes.
So I tried to run again today and I wore different pants that were higher and tighter on the belly and it felt so much better, so hopefully that was why it hurt so much and why I got bruised (too much flopping around).
On motivation, I don't like the way I look right now and while it's not my top priority I do want to get back to looking good. I also want everything to heal up ok and get back in fighting shape bc I feel like I will have a better chance at a VBAC for next time if I do. Idk if that's true or not but it makes sense to me. I'm also living at the beach right now, so the body has been front and center.

I am uncomfortable in my own skin right now, which is a motivator. I was also a lot heavier than I wanted to be when I got pregnant. There are lots of cute clothes that I can't wear because I'm too fat. Also, I don't want to have to buy new work clothes. All of that is what gets my jiggly ass moving.

This week begins the end of pumping/breastfeeding. J is 3 months on Wednesday, and after that I'll start cutting pumping sessions down. I'm sad about it, but there's also some relief in it as well. No more stress about my shitty output, or needing to pump.

MH scheduled his vasectomy. I know I should be happy/relieved, but honestly, I'm sad. We are quite happy with the 3 girls we have, and are already stretched thin on finances/patience/space/time/etc, but I can't help but question whether we should try for one more.

I'm certifiably nuts.
That's not nuts. It's a big, consequential decision even if you both agree it makes sense. Does he share your feelings? Or are you trying to take comfort in knowing it's what he wants and what's most logistical?

(((hugs))) momma I finally caved and quit pumping about 1.5wks ago. (B was 12wks) my dismal supply had been tanking the last few weeks and decided it was time to call it. I only kept it up that long bc B liked to comfort nurse at times. I'm bummed about it, but I know it was the right thing for us.

We need to get on this. H said he would look it it. I'm sad this is our last baby, but I absolutely can not be pregnant again.

He has made it quite clear that he is done. I think his main two reasons are due to finances and that he wants to be able to take our kids on vacations... which I guess could also be filed under finances haha.

Ah yes, that was the other reason. I remember telling MH when I was pregnant with #3, to remind me how miserable I was so I'd be convinced to stop at 3. It's funny how I so quickly forget the back pain, mood swings, weight gain, sciatica, nausea, and hot flashes. I think if I keep reminding myself of those things, I should be OK haha.

(Commiseration tit) Thanks love. It's a hard decision. This whole breastfeeding thing has caused so many tears, and so much stress, anxiety, and negative feelings that I know it's the right call. J only nurses once per day (in the morning after he wakes up), and I'll miss that time with him, but not having The Pump hanging over me will be nice. I have enough in the freezer that I can mix breast milk into 2 of his bottles for about 3 weeks after I stop. In the grand scheme, he's 98% FF anyway. And, as they say, a fed baby is a happy baby. It just sucks that it's not happening that way I envisioned.

My husband has an appointment for a consultation with a urologist in July. I loved being pregnant but I'm confident to be done at two. I love my girls but I'm ready to get to the stage of life where we can go places and do things more easily without having to worry about feeding, naps, etc. I'm ready to be done with sleepless nights and breastfeeding and excited about the independent but still little and cute stage.
However, after being on birth control and then fertility treatments and all that it's a strange feeling that we're done and that it's all past us.

I loved working out pre pregnancy. I was at the gym 3-4 times a week. Once I got pregnant I was going 1-2 a week. Now, I've gone 3 or 4 times since I got cleared from my dr at 6 weeks PP. I want to get back to my old routine but its so hard with our schedules. I wake up at 5am just to be ready to leave to work by 715. I get out at 5 and I am not home till 6ish. add laundry, cleaning, making dinner, going grocery shopping, etc... MH still goes to the gym regularly and he tells me I can go whenever I want but I feel there is no time and Im beat by the end of the day, and I am only 3-days a week at work. I've tried workout videos but I am not disciplined. Right now I am just trying to eat well and count calories.

Don't feel bad mommy. My BF experience was so different this time around. It was not joyous at all. I was not producing, baby hated it and it just cause more stress for both of us. We both would end up in tears. I tired eating oatmeal daily. I would drink mother's milk multiple times a day. I baked lactation cookies and nothing seemed to help. Pumping was stressful too. I would pump 2oz each session and get more frustrated. It just was not worth the stress. I stopped at 10 weeks. It was very upsetting at first because I nursed DS1 for 13 months, I flet like a faliure. But, I told myself every baby is different and I cant beat myself up. We need to do what's best for our babies. As long as they are healthy and getting their nutrients that's all that matters. Hugs!
I just said "are you steering this ship, Kira?" While we were playing with LO and my iphone responded "sorry I can't find the song Spanish actor". What???
