New Moms . . . Where are you?

I was wondering how all of the new moms are doing? I have not seen much of you on the board lately. I know htat it gets busy taking care of the little one. My son is 9-1/2 months already!!! It hardly seems possible. How old are your little ones? Is anyone having a difficult time losing weight after your child was born? I am and was wondering what you were doing to help that along. I know that I need to exercise. However, with my son it is so difficult as I work all day and then come home and want to spend time with him until he goes to bed and then I pretty much head to bed myself as I am tired as well. I am a teacher associate in special ed so that keeps me running all day long. Has anyone heard from Andrea and how she is doing? I can't remember when she is due. Thanks for your help in advance. Stephanie

Andrea and the other Stephanie are both due with twins in May. I have talked to Andrea and she is doing great, just super busy this year with school, and stuff. I am going to see her the 15th I hope I haven't seen Tracie L on here since she had her baby, so I don't know how she is doing.....I see Mrs. Weber on the main/grad boards.....she too seems to be doing good....as always very witty with a great sense of humor I would look her up in peers and email her! Glad to here all is well with you~I can only imagine how tired you are......a 9 1/2 month old baby will do that too ya everytime I that age.....so much fun! Heck I am having a difficult time losing 10lbs and didn't have a baby I do know I hear Sherry talkin about it tho. Wishing you the best! Take Care jesi

Thanks Jesi for the reply. I can totally relate about the weight. That is the most frustrating thing about this whole process. When the weather turns nice my son and I are going to start walking, until then I am not sure what I am going to do. Like I was telling my mom last night, if Luke was a bit older I could exercise when I get home, however, with him being so young and wanting mom to hold him, since I have not seen him all day, I feel that I need to give him at least that much. I read the boards all the time. I feel bad writing about not losing as everyone else is going such a good job with there weight loss. At work a team of us are doing the Lighten Up Iowa and so I am hoping that helps me to get back on track, at least weighing myself once a week. I am so not satisfied with myself and body right now. I need to get down to where I was before so I can get my TT this summer. We will see. Sometimes I just wish I was not so self concious about all of this. Thanks for listening. Stephanie
