6 Months Postpartum: the half way point

[April 20]

Postpartum recovery is truly a full year.  Flushing your body of all those crazy hormones, shrinking your pelvis back to size (well as far back as it will go…often your shape postpartum is different from preconception), losing all those lbs, replacing your nutrient stores (assuming you’re working toward this…it takes major discipline) from which you [...]

12 Weeks Postpartum=Bar is 3 Months Old!

[January 8]

I can’t believe we are already at the 3 month mark!  It was a wild ride, but we’re definitely out of the craziness of the super newborn phase and all getting used to each other.  Bar is an absolutely amazing baby and my heart is full of love. As for the postpartum front, I’m down [...]

Sleep oh how I miss thee…

[November 10]

So we’re coming up on 4 weeks postpartum and the sleep deprivation is catching up to me.  I was superlucky to heal fast from the delivery and was on a real high for a couple weeks after Baby Bar’s arrival.  I was feeling great and energetic and definitely doing too much trying to make up [...]

Pregnancy Weight Loss: 2 Weeks Postpartum

[November 1]

In the midst of trying to get everything back on track, figuring out our new routine with my new boo, catching up on all the things that fell through the cracks while I was in the hospital, and whatnot, I did some thinking on all the things I want to write about. Honestly, I’m a [...]
