Molly

Patience. That's what my lesson was for Molly's birth. I had completely convinced myself that she would be arriving early, but she had other plans. She arrived was forced to come out 2 weeks late. It was an otherwise easy birth and for that I'm thankful. 

Patience is a lesson that I could use over & over. I've never been good with it. Babies teach us to slow down each day as we fear that we'll miss a milestone...she just decided to slow me down before she ever even arrived. Stinker. 

I was blessed enough to be active throughout my pregnancy. I enjoyed programs like PiYo, 21 Day Fix and at the end I got to enjoy Autumn Calabrese's Maternity Series. Being told to wait 6 weeks after giving birth until I could work out...is this another lesson?! Again..I'm learning to slow down and know that everything will happen in the perfect timing, so who am I to rush things?!

Molly is keeping me active...she loves to be held and worn in the carrier. I walk around the house with her on me allll day...now that's a workout! I wouldn't change that for the world though. I think she knows Mommy was missing her workouts...sweet thing figured she would help me out. I have big plans for getting back to better than my pre baby body. I can't wait to begin that program and share that with you all, but for now I will relax and enjoy this time of healing...
