I am thrilled to announce that this morning I weighed myself to find all the weight I gained with Dassa-Beanie GONE!! I wasn't one of those lucky women whose weight came off easily with breastfeeding. :( I have had to work for it. My first weight goal is done. I have been rollerblading Mon-Fri every morning about 7miles. I also threw in the occasional abs exercise. I need to throw in a few more of those, but I can now work on getting off the 10 pounds of 'first-year marriage weight' now. I am confident that if I continue on this path that my diligence will be rewarded. I have enjoyed the muscle toning in my legs and butt. ;) The tummy continues to be the trouble zone, but the angry stretch marks have faded thank goodness! It makes me feel confident to know that if we have another that I am not just adding to the first pregnancy's weight. I have watched a friends baby several times now and am pleased with seeing how well Dassa-Beanie would do with sharing attention and being a help. I enjoy knowing that I would still have another 10 months of just me and Dassa-Beanie time before a sibling would come along, however. I feel more emotionally prepared since the weight is off that if it were to happen I would welcome it completely. Who knows if God will bless us with another? - If so, wonderful - but if not I can confidently state that I have been so blessed by having Dassa-Beanie! I am enjoying every stage with its challenges and discovery. Beautiful to see the world through the eyes of your child. I just finished co-teaching a women's bible study and really enjoyed seeing God stretch and teach me through the experience. It was great to have some good discussion and fellowship with other women. But I am glad now that my summer is stretched wide open and free before me! Can you say BEACH! POOL! PLAYING! YAY!
