We are officially a family of FOUR! Absolutely nutzo. Little G Man arrived weighing in at a hefty, but very healthy 8 pounds 11 ounces! The kid didn't even fit in the newborn diapers we purchased! Baby Poodle was initially hesitant about her new brother but has adjusted rather nicely. I have no idea as to why I thought having one kid was difficult. That is a breeze. A walk in the park. Two kids...one 15 month old and the other a newborn...that is some tough shit. My blood sugars towards the latter part of the pregnancy got pretty sensitive, but they were no where nearly as bad as with BP. I guess it is true that every pregnancy, and kid, is different.
I'm trying desperately hard to get back into shape. I feel like my body has been held hostage for like, over two years as I have gone through these pregnancies and nursing. It has been difficult to find the time and the energy, but the other day I kicked some ass and ran 2 miles!! I'm pretty much insanely proud of myself. I'm also trying to incorporate resistance training to the mix.
The toughest part by far though, is the diet. I'm nursing, I'm exhausted, and I'm hungry... and all of those things are happening all. the. time. It's hard to eat clean when that is what's up. Yesterday I purchased Tosca Reno's Clean Eating Recharged cookbook for some necessary motivation. Also, browsing through my Oxygen magazine or any fitness blog really helps to curb my junk food intake and keep me on the straight and narrow. I'm taking weekly progress pictures to keep my goal in focus.
If I can have two howling babies and still make time to test, give myself insulin, and follow somewhat of a healthy lifestyle...you can too!
