Wow! In the past week or so I have really started to feel human again, I would even dare to say I'm feeling pretty good. It's very weird to explain if you've never experienced it. It's almost like I was walking around in a daze, under a cloud. The worst part is that my life is so wonderfully blessed that I have absolutely NO reason to feel any sort of down!
I gave up my membership to Curves. It was kind of boring, for me. I like to really get my heart rate up. I joined LA Fitness and have been taking the classes and working on the cardio machines. I think that's part of what has helped nip this PPD in the bud! Something about good exercise that makes me feel so good. I told Tobin that when I was working out before I got pregnant with Audra, was the best I have felt in my life, physically, emotional, mentally. I am now 6 lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight, but I'm wondering if after 3 c-sections...will my belly ever resemble anything close to what it did before? LOL I tried to do an ab machine at the gym today, I had it on the lowest weight setting and COULD NOT get it down. Whew! They are shot. Maybe I'll start saving for a tummy-tuck. ;-) Naw!
Tobin and I went through a sort of stressful situation a few weeks ago. Drama caused by outside sources. Something which I would have thought could drive a wedge between us, but it has actually brought us closer. Anyone that has been married for any length of time is aware that all marriages go through ups and downs, and anyone who has known Tobin and me knows that we have had our share. I think that we, right now, are the strongest and closest that we have ever been. I was thinking the other day that, I can't call him the man of my dreams, because I would have never thought to dream this big. He's a wonderful husband and an amazing father. Now, you know if I thought he'd read this, I wouldn't say that, his head is big enough.
The kiddos are doing great! Greyson started 2nd grade and is loving it and his teacher! He also started tackle football, which he's not so crazy about. We tried to tell him, but he didn't believe, that he would not just do the hitting, but would also GET hit. We're hoping that once they start playing games (just in practice now), he'll enjoy it more. Colton is adjusting to Greyson not being here, he really missed his "Bubba" the first few days. We have started working on letters and the sounds they make. He's picking it up very well. He recognizes his name and most of the vowels. He's a smart little cookie! Audra is doing great and growing like a little weed, she was over 15 lbs at her appointment last week (3 mos), she has developed reflux and is throwing up all day. We have been trying what the doctor recommended for about a week and it doesn't seem to be working. I'm going to call the doctor again on Monday.
All in all, things are going well. We are all healthy and happy, who could ask for anything more?
