Keep On
We have made it 3 weeks! It has not been easy- it is the hardest thing I have ever done in my whole life. But like everything that takes a lot of work, it is completely worth it. (praying helps!)

I have yet to really exercise post c-section. My surgery has healed well and my body has recovered amazingly. I am ready and want to be moving! But, Dave works 12 hour days and I don't have a way to get back out there yet. Hopefully one day Isla will actually nap and/or like the stroller and I can get started on my journey back to racing. In the meantime, I am reminding myself daily that Isla is the priority, and everything else can wait.

Some nights Dave gets home in time for me to walk for 30 minutes. I have even inserted little 1-2 minute jogs when I am able to keep my core activated. I did manage to get on the trainer one day for 20 minutes before Isla realized she was napping! I have a long way to go to rebuild muscle and strength in my body, but it is all part of the challenge.

In the meantime, I am training to be a mom. I have a LONG way to go. I spend most of the day having no clue what to do. From breastfeeding to figuring out how to calm this girl down, it is all a challenge. No matter how hard this time is, I am pretty sure I will look back and think of it as a special part of my life.
Keep on keepin' on!

That's my very special grand daughter...she's a handful!
She is is lovely Damie it just melts my heart!! Xoxo
It all sounds so very hard, and you sound tired.
If you need any Mommy pointers you know how to get in touch with me.
Mommyhood is probably the thing I am the best at. ;)
Take care. :))
It is the hardest but the best thing! And I promise, it does get easier but it's hard to imagine when you are in the thick of it. She's beautiful! You are doing a great job taking care of both of you.
It does get easier... I remember thinking every month was just amazing but the next month was always even better... Get some sleep mama!
You sound tired. And Isla sound a little high strung. But I'm sure you have noticed that it changes daily. Hang in there and tomorrow will be better! Or at least no worse than today! And she is beautiful! Most of us can't remember much about the first year, except what we have pictures of. Take happy pictures and all your memories will be good. (That's my theory, anyway! LOL!)
XOXOXO!!!
These pictures are adorable!!! I'm so glad you've made it through another week. I hope you are getting some good naps this weekend!
Damie... she is adorable. I would love to come visit you all!! Let me know if one day next week works... being a new mom is so challenging especially the first time. I remember trying to get out the door with Riley and sometimes it would take us to 2;00 to get there and we would start about 10 am... it is so worth it and before you know it they are all grown up!!! If you need anything... let me know... I would love to help... I have baby longing all the time - now I am just waiting to be a grandma!!!
