Motherhood


This is turning into as much of a motherhood blog as a weigh loss blog, but I guess for me now they go together! I just gave Rowyn a bath then we rocked and read a book and I put her in her bassinette so hopefully fall asleep on her own. As I was reading to her "Love you Forever" of course I cried, but it really sent home a lot of things for me. I need to be 100% committed to WW, I need to be here to rock her when she's all grown up, I need to be heathly and love myself so I can be here to be old and grey and have her take care of me!
These past few days, since being 100% back OP, have been really tough for me. I'm still getting used to being a new mom and now i've thrown myself back into this. I mean, that's great don't get me wrong, but man! It's way harder! I hardly have time to remember to eat at all, let alone remember to eat healthy, and have the time to prepare something healthy. When she's sleeping I feel like I need to clean the house! I have an amazing husband, who is such a great Daddy, but I think he hasn't realized yet how hard it is to take care of a baby, the house, the animals, and yourself all at the same time! He gets home from work and It seems like I hand him the baby and start cleaning all the things I didn't get done during the day...yet the house seems to stay messy!
I'm hoping that once I heal up from the c-section and get a stroller things will get better. If I can leave the house, even to take a walk around the block, maybe i'll feel less like i'm cooped up in the house losing my mind, and more like i'm doing something about being fat~

Don't stress yourself out too much. I didn't get back onto WW until I had Lillian for 6 weeks. For that first while I just bonded with her and tried to get used to remembering to eat. Don't stress out too mcuh because you'll have loads of time to get working on your weight after you two have a nice little routine going.
