Growing Pains

I think Anya is having a growth spurt. That would definitely explain all of the cluster feeding she's been doing lately, especially right before bed and first thing in the morning. And she has done nothing but nap for the past two days and still managed to sleep between 5 and 6 hours at least once each night. About time. I was beginning to think she'd wear Newborn clothes forever. Some of her Newborn clothes are still too big for her. Of all of the Newborn size clothing she has, she can only actually wear about half of them and even some of those are a little big. So she has to grow into the rest of her Newborn clothes before I even have to worry about her growing into clothing in the 0-3 Months size. She's such an adorably small baby! Bless her heart; she will suffer as I have with having to have every formal gown and pair of pants she ever owns hemmed a good five inches. Ah, life as a short person. Loads of fun when jean shopping.

Meanwhile I currently need to discover the best fat burner ever now that my doctor here has cleared me for exercise and such as of yesterday at my 6 weeks post-partum check up. Finally I can actually work on losing the rest of the baby weight! Yay! I only have about 7 pounds left on top of what I weighed at my first prenatal appointment, but I was a good 10 pounds lighter than that before I got pregnant to begin with so I'd really like to get down to that weight again eventually. But for now I'll work toward the smaller goal of getting to my first prenatal appointment weight. As a matter of fact, I'll be starting my routine this evening though I sadly won't be able to take a walk to start the work out because the weather is kind of bleh outside today. And tomorrow we head to Tennessee for Thanksgiving so I'm sure my routine will consist of mostly walking while there before I can start up the actual work out portion again once I return home. I'm really motivated to get back into my pre-baby shape and then some so wish me luck!
