It\u2019s been 2 months now since sweet Hailey came into the world and we\u2019re both working on our bodies. She\u2019s working on growing and I\u2019m working on shrinking! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Hailey\u2019s 2 month checkup was yesterday and though I dreaded it because she had to get shots (more painful for me than for her!), I was excited to get her stats.<\/p>\n

\"Hailey<\/a><\/p>\n

She weighs 11 pounds 9 ounces \u2013 75th percentile<\/p>\n

They measured her twice because they were so surprised she grew a whole 2 inches in one month making her now 23 inches long \u2013 75th percentile<\/p>\n

Baby girl is growing like a weed!<\/p>\n

She is very interactive and smiles when we talk and sing to her.  Her arm movements are becoming less jerky and she can get her hands in her mouth when she wants them there.  Her eyes follow objects and she loves \u2018reading\u2019 books and looking in the mirror.  She can hold her head up for extended periods of time when on her belly. She\u2019s sleeping 9-10 hours a night and eating every 3 hours during the day.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve received a few more questions about Hailey and plan to post about them, so keep sending them \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Now, to Hailey\u2019s momma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Looking at this, it makes me really wish I would have measured my bust area before and after.  I\u2019m up a size in bras and don\u2019t see any signs of that changing anytime soon.  However, I don\u2019t think I have an extra SIX<\/em> pounds<\/strong> in my bra, which is how much I have left to lose to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight.<\/p>\n

\"one<\/a><\/p>\n

\"2<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m trying not to focus to much on the scale, though I must admit it is frustrating when the weight fell off so quickly in the beginning to only lose 1 lb in entire month.<\/p>\n

\"one<\/a> \"2<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s been so long since I\u2019ve had to lose weight, that this is a new challenge for me.  It\u2019s a little bit trickier this time, too, because I need to make sure I don\u2019t lose my milk supply, which can happen if you cut calories or exercise too much.<\/p>\n

\"one<\/a> \"2<\/a><\/p>\n

However, I\u2019m ready to develop a plan. I\u2019m 2 months postpartum and I\u2019m feeling really great, so physical discomfort due to labor is no longer an excuse (which I\u2019m happy about!).<\/p>\n

This post has been long enough for today, but tomorrow\u2019s post will be a continuation. I\u2019m going to breakdown what I\u2019ve been doing, what I think I\u2019m doing wrong and my plan going forward!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to take frustration and turn it into motivation!<\/p>\n

What do you think is more challenging: losing weight or maintaining?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
