- lack of exercise
- picking up my little bugaboo (the heavier she gets the harder it is on my back)
It's sad to say this, but I worked out so much more when I was pregnant than I do now and I'm not carrying a baby in my belly. I guess what it is that I don't have all the time in the world now to do what I want/need to do. There aren't that many hours of the day and when she's up, she's my main job, which I love. Not complaining! Plus breastfeeding is a big commitment. It usually takes an hour to feed her, when with a bottle she can take it within 10-20 minutes.
So after realizing that my back is killing me and that I'm not feeling all that great about myself, I've decided to step up the working out whenever I can. She goes to sleep from 6-9pm every night so after I take care of everything else, if I can squeeze in 20 min on the elliptical i will. It's just so tough, when after a full days work, I come home, feed her, bath her, feed her again. Then put her down, then put my milk in the freezer. Clean the bottles, clean anything else baby related. Make food for lunch the next day and even dinner. By the time I'm all done with that, I just want to relax on the couch with a glass of wine.
On another note, Daddy and Mommy had an Easter photoshoot with JoJo. It was a lot of fun. How did we get Jo to smile? Well mommy tickled her face with the green grass. Yes very tortuous I know!! here are some other easter shots that aren't on fbook
