Yesterday was a doctor day in our household. Sam had an appointment in the morning, and I had one in the afternoon. We were exhausted after a rough sleep night, but we miraculously made it to both on time and with a mellow baby! Score! Sam’s was an important one- they did some x rays to make sure his kidney was all good (while pregnant, an ultrasound showed some swelling on one) and it’s completely cleared up! We’ve got ourselves a perfectly healthy baby boy! :) Mine was my “6 week” postpartum check up” but at 4 1/2 weeks instead, because that’s just how it worked out schedule-wise. We brought Sam, because my doctor had me promise that we would when he was born. I’m a-okay and all healed, and she gave me the green light to start working out again! Her exact words were “you can do anything!” That’s what I wanted to hear!
So. With that said, I will be starting the Tone It Up Bikini Series today! And I couldn’t be more excited and ready to get back into working out. I’ll still start slow and listen to my body, as I always do, but I am just soooo glad to know that I can work out without being nervous about injuring myself. So yay. I’m excited. Anybody else doing the Bikini Series, too?

Today is another day where Zack is at work and it’s just me the Sam Sam. He is currently right next to me in his little bouncer, happy as a clam. :) I took him on a walk the other day in his carrier (we have the Ergobaby with infant insert and love it!) and I plan on doing that again today as well. It’s fun going on little mama/baby walks around the neighborhood. Plus, I mean, we can’t let cabin fever set in. That’s no joke.
And then there’s also this. Our family Mother’s Day selfie:
Nailed it.

p.s. I am working on Sam’s birth story, and it’ll be up next week! Better late than never, right? I’ve been a little busy. ;)

I am doing the Tone it up bikini series and I actually have been getting my fiance to do the workouts too. It’s funny but we’re having a good time! :) I can’t wait to read about Sam’s birth story and maybe if we’re lucky, you’ll sneak in some pics of the nursery? ;)
Katie
Ahhh that is so awesome that your fiancé is doing the workouts with you! Zack has done a few with me too- it’s the best :) I am planning on doing a whole nursery tour post too, but it’s not quiiiiite done yet. I’m waiting on one piece that my friend is painting. :)
