Morbidity

I have been having quite a few morbid thoughts lately. I think it is mostly because I have been thinking a lot about what would happen to Hunter if Jake and I died. I have never had to worry about this kind of thing before. It seems like more of a reality since my Uncle passed away last September. He was only 56 years old; he got sick suddenly and died within a year. It really made me realize that anything can happen and that we really need to plan for the unexpected.

Getting my body back

Now that I have been cleared to do exercise by my OB, I would really like to try to get my body back. I am about 19 pounds heavier than I was at 8 weeks pregnant. I am pretty happy about that seeing that at 40 weeks pregnant I was 215 pounds. I am not sure what I am going to do about exercise yet, I am thinking I am probably going to walk first since I can do that with Hunter. The problem is that I really don't want to 'diet'. I have gotten in trouble with dieting before where I become obsessed with calories or points or whatever the diet makes you watch and it becomes a vicious cycle where I make myself feel bad because I have 'failed'. Jake has decided to do Weight Watchers again since it works for him. I know that I cannot do it again so am going to just try to eat healthy and make Weight Watchers dinners and see how it goes. Since I don't weigh myself anymore, we will just have to go by how my clothes fit.

VEGAS (with a) BABY!!

So Hunter and I went to Vegas to visit my Mom, my sister Lindsey and my brother Jerrod. It was great to spend time with my family and for my mom and sister to finally get to know Hunter. We didn't do anything exciting, just relaxed and rested. It was nice to get away. The best part was that Hunter is a great traveller. On the flight there, he slept the whole way and on the way home he was awake but cooing and smiling the whole time. This makes me hopeful that we can have many successful vacations in the future.
