| Chub is in the house. |
Two of us in the family have recently become rather chubby.
First up is Mr. Micah. In one month's time this kiddo has gained 4 pounds. He weighed 22-23 pounds for almost a year and then he took this sudden leap. I can't seem to stop kissing his cute pudgy feet and pinching his chunky thighs.
Then there's moi. I got a load of my caboose in a Target mirror recently and all I can say is I ought to hang a sign on that thing. Wide Load.
Oh yes I have chub. Equal opportunity chub. It's spread out equally amongst all my body parts.
Fortunately there is a nice gym about 2 blocks from our house. Shane kindly suggested that I join. I tried it out last night for the first time. I weighed myself after my workout and discovered that I have 20 pounds to lose. T-w-e-n-t-y. 20. Yowza. Can I blame nursing? Time to get to WORK!
But seriously I don't worry about the extra weight. In fact I love joking about it with Shane; I tell him I'm not chunky I've just been magnified. I don't even mind when Sage tells me I look like I still have a baby in my tummy. It's all part of being a mama to a darling little 8-week old. And it's worth every extra flabby pound.

HOORAY for Micah!
And I think you look great in that picture! So ya...I STILL have 20 pounds to shed after this baby. And he's 4 and 1/2 months old! Its a litttttle depressing considering I've been running my rear off. (but I guess not quite). I did take my measurements at about 6- weeks post partum and I have lost about 4 inches in my waist so that made me happy. I LOVE thinking about being "magnified" haha! darn these 3rd babies. they are for sure SO worth it!
You are beautiful! And working out is hard but once it becomes a habit you won't stop!
There's just more of you for Shane to love! You bet it's worth every bit of chub. Your 3 children are angels! Can't wait to see you Saturday!
