Today the diet starts... I’ve been so bad lately with desserts and eating crap since so many people have brought us delicious meals and desserts to go with it. I gained 40lb with this pregnancy... 20lb has already come off (which I’m assuming was mostly swelling/water weight), and it has officially plateaued so the other 20lb is true weight that needs to be lost to get back to pre-preg weight. I’m not going to be super strict about it, since breast feeding and all. But at least doing MFP to keep myself accountable from reaching for the extra slice of cake and ice cream haha. I can’t wait to have my body back to myself!!! I’m planning to start a whole30 on Monday. I only gained 25 pounds, and only have about 10-12 to go to pre pregnancy weight, but I’m basically living off m&ms and ice cream. Gotta kick the habit!! Plus really I wanted to lose 7-10 pounds before i got pregnant.

In regard to cleaners - we have a cleaning service come every 3 weeks. It took me a very long time to convince my husband the benefit of having a cleaner come to our house. He finally agreed and now he LOVES it. We had to make adjustments to our budget but it is WELL worth it.
If you can swing it in your budget, I recommend it!

And let the shopping while nursing begin! I just ordered some curtains for our dining area. The ones that are here currently there #1: have long cords and #2:are old, stained and were just here when we moved in. I had earmarked some Christmas money for them anyway. Oh and since I bought them off of the Kohls website, I was able to use a bunch o' coupons and only spent half of what I was willing to spend!

I can't wait to lose all this weight too! It's already coming off and for me, all the water I'm drinking helps tremendously. Plus, when I am PP, I crave fresh vegetables and fruits (prob due to the water content) so that helps. My mom is definitely a meat and carbs kind of cook but she's going to bring us a light(ish) pasta dish tonight and then a huge salad with grilled chicken later this week! And some neighbors are bringing us some yummy healthy dishes sometime soon too, like some kind of Moroccan-inspired chick pea dish and maybe a lentil shepherd's pie or something.
I gained 50 lbs with DS and almost that this time. But my pre-preg weight this time was about 10 lbs higher so hopefully, I'll be able to lose at least 50 lbs but ideally a little more.
I eat like crap when I'm pregnant but my normal diet is quite healthy (except a lot of sweets...). And I'll start doing some yoga in a week or so and then add in some running. I'll also start getting out for walks this week when the weather allows, as soon as DH finds our adapter for the Bob so we can snap in V's seat. Yay! I can't wait. Running is also a mental health thing for me so it will be good for me (and everyone around me) when I can get out to do that. I think after DS I did wait until 6w PP but I might try doing a little bit of walk/run before then this time.

amesie I'm jealous of cleaners. I would love for that. I told MH that too but 🙄 I also told him I wanted my car detailed and washed and I got another 🙄 Hope's I'll come home to all of these things? Srs doubts. MH is all about paying for cleaners because it means he doesn’t have to help me do it. This. Soooo annoying. I’m like, this is such a waste of money (for us right now haha) when you could just help me by doing some of it!!

I hate myself right now. I’m so paranoid about DS’ head shape. This was my “thing” with DD too and it made me crazy & DH hated me for it lol. But DS definitely has a flat spot on one side & im at a loss bc he sleeps with his head turned all different ways and we do tummy time every day soooo. H is like, you know DD was a little flat too and she turned out fine. Haha once I start obsessing over something I can’t let it go.

DD had her term checkup at the hospital today. She had her eyes checked for ROP and she was all good, and since her veins have finished growing we won't need to do another check.
She weighed in at 6lbs 14oz and is now 19" long! We will be moving her to size 1 diapers shortly, because she keeps almost pooping out the back.

DH has been sick this weekend, nausea and puking. He is a bit better today but at least I was able to send the toddler to daycare today. I've been trying to catch up on the house today. I really hope nobody else gets sick.

We got discharged from the hospital this afternoon. I’m excited for DS1 to meet his brother. He’s been with my parents since Friday and has been begging to come home and snuggle me.

8 days postpartum. I told H this is the last day for treats and takeout. My mom and MIL bought a lot of snacks and goodies from Costco and we've been enjoying a lot of takeout. Need to get back to Primal-ish/IIFYM this week. Unlike with my last pregnancy where I gained 50 lbs, the most by 25 lbs, I lost 18 lbs and gained back about 11 of it by the time I delivered. Haven't weighed myself yet, but I have a ton of weight to lose and have to recheck my thyroid levels soon.
Still enjoying hibernating. #introvertlife I'm a homebody by nature and enjoy staying in during cooler months, but it's starting to warm up a little. Once my boobs are no longer engorged I can comfortable wear Teddy in a wrap for day walks.

Last night z was inconsolable with gas and digestion stuff for a long time. He was sooo costipated. It was awful. 😭
Sorry for the spam posting. It’s hard on mobile for me to quote and tag multiple people. Plus... tired haha

Had my last BPP ultrasound today. Baby girl was measuring 7.12, 75th percentile overall and 87th for her stomach. I’m hoping it’s off some, but we have a little over a week until induction unless she decides to come on her own.
I’m in my last week of work, only three days left! I had my evaluation for the school year today, it went well. My substitute is supposed to come shadow me tomorrow and then pretty much everything is wrapped up!

I gained 45 lbs with DD and 60 this time with DS. I’m down 30 without doing anything but I know the hard work is yet to come. I’m 4wks pp today so I started a 3-week yoga program to get me ready to jump back in once I’m cleared for the hard-core stuff.

We took a little walk to a local pizza place for dinner. Since we don't really know when is the "last" time for the 3 of us we're indulging a bit.
Watching Sound of Music with Em hoping to get her to calm down a bit since the walk in the brisk air has her super hyper!
I'm going to call the work back up center again and see if there's any way I can put Em in again this week for another freebie day. Either Wed or Fri I'm thinking, if there's space.

I have been Lysol-ing and Cloroxing the crap out of my house. G has been a boogery mess all day and she now has a low grade fever. I am probably not sending her to school tomorrow either. I really hope the baby doesn’t catch it.

I’d love to start doing some low-impact easier stuff right now until I’m cleared We have Beachbody On Demand so it’s on there, it’s just called 3-Week Yoga Retreat. Starts really basic the first week & builds from there. Even if you don’t pay for BOD I think you can do a 30-day trial for free (that’s how I did the yoga retreat the first time haha).

I gained about 50 lbs with DD1 and lost most of it except for about 10lbs in the past 2 years. This pregnancy I gained 55 lbs and have lost about 20 so far so I need to lose 40-50 lbs. we got a new gym membership at his fancy gym near our house so I plan to start going when we get back from vacation. I did walk 7 miles today sightseeing but I am definitely feeling it and don’t know how I am going to be able to stand or walk for 4 more days haha

Oh and I got an email from DD1s preschool teacher that there have been some cases of flu in the school so I’m really glad we are out of town this week and hopeful that it’s gone by the time we send her back to school next week

Happy Monday! I had a baby today 😍 Introducing: Pen.el.ope Mar.ie. She weighed 8lb 12oz...2 lbs more than DD1 did at birth. I will post a birth story later, but after being induced around 9:30 last night with cytotek, I went from 1 cm to 10 by 2:25pm and pushed for 11 min before she was here. A long ways from pushing with DD1 for 2.5 hours. 😳 And now the squish pics ❤️
